The Waterberg Trust is raising sponsorship to enable students whose parents have died to take courses in further education.

The Northern Education Trust in the Waterberg identified Elton Chitanda as an outstanding student in need of support to enable him to study computer science at Eduvos University in Guateng, South Africa.

“We believe Elton is deserving of this support and we look forward to him becoming a very successful young man.”

If you would like to help, even in a small way, TWT can accept donations via Justgiving or other ways detailed on the website here.

TWT previously sponsored Donum Mandizvidza after his mother died. He gained a degree in Actuarial and Financial Mathematics at Pretoria University and is now working as an accountant.

Elton Chitanda turned nineteen in April. He lives in Vaalwater with his auntie and younger brother Elvis.

Elton writes:

“Your invaluable contribution to my college education has impacted my life immensely, and I cannot thank you enough.” 

“My computer science education has been truly enlightening and captivating. Through the curriculum at EDUVOS, I have gained a solid foundation in various aspects of the field. I have acquired programming skills in languages such as Java, Python, and C++, enabling me to develop software applications and solve complex problems. Moreover, I have also learned about database management, algorithm design, and artificial intelligence, broadening my understanding of the limitless possibilities that lie within the realm of computer science.”

“I have successfully completed the second quarter of my studies. It was an intense and challenging period, but with your support, I managed to excel in my exams and achieve promising results. Your belief in me has been a constant source of motivation, driving me to work hard and stay focused on my goals.”

“In addition to my academic pursuits, I have also been actively involved in extracurricular activities to maintain a well-rounded college experience. I recently joined the basketball team to enhance my physical fitness and encourage a sense of teamwork. It has been an incredible opportunity to engage with fellow students and build lasting friendships while staying active and healthy.”

“I am incredibly appreciative of the financial assistance you have given me, which has not only allowed me to focus entirely on my studies and personal development but also eased the strain of paying tuition. Your trust in my abilities has increased my confidence and given me peace of mind that I am headed in the correct direction for a bright future.”

‘Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generous assistance. I am determined to make the most of this opportunity and strive for excellence in my academic studies. Your investment in my education will undoubtedly have a lasting impact, and I am committed to proving myself worthy of your support.”

Kind Regards,

Elton Chitanda
