My name is Barbara G, a 22-year-old aspiring healthcare professional from the remote area of Guruve in Zimbabwe. I am currently pursuing my education at the Lusaka Health Institute in Zambia, courtesy of the Sahara on The Bay Scholarship, which I have been fortunate enough to receive since January 2022. As I approach my graduation in November 2024, I am compelled to share the impact of this scholarship on my academic journey marked by dedication and achievement.

In recognition of my commitment to excellence, I am honored to have received the “Best Student End of Year One” award. This accomplishment not only highlights my academic prowess but also emphasizes my passion for learning and dedication to making a meaningful impact in the field of healthcare.

My journey in healthcare is driven by a sincere desire to give back to my community and make a difference in the lives of the less privileged. Growing up in a remote area, I have firsthand experience with the challenges faced by my community, particularly in accessing healthcare services and education. Inspired by these experiences, my goal is to become a qualified healthcare professional, providing essential health services to my community.

Beyond my dedication to healthcare, I am deeply committed to supporting education for less privileged children. I believe that education is a powerful tool for empowerment and positive change. Therefore, if granted the opportunity, I aspire to establish initiatives that provide educational support to children facing socio-economic challenges in my community.

I am reaching out to seek your support in continuing my education and fulfilling my aspirations. The Sahara on The Bay Scholarship has been instrumental in making my educational journey possible, and with your sponsorship, I aim to further excel in my studies. Your contribution will not only assist in covering tuition and related expenses but will also play a pivotal role in helping me achieve my dream of becoming a healthcare professional dedicated to serving underserved communities.

I am confident that with your support, I can contribute significantly to the betterment of healthcare accessibility in my community and provide educational opportunities for those in need.

Thank you for considering my request. I am more than willing to provide any additional information or answer any questions you may have.

Sincerely,

Barbara Faith Gotora
