Yusuf is 20-year-old student who is being supported by the Mainstay Foundation. Orphaned at a young age, Yusuf had been staying at a children’s home run by one of the Foundation’s partners in Tanzania. He excelled in both his O and A levels at a local school, where he consistently demonstrated his dedication to his studies. Yusuf’s passion for medicine has led him to enrol in the BSc Anaesthesia and Critical Care (Hons) programme at Parul University in India. His dream is to specialise in a field that saves lives, reflecting his resilient spirit and commitment to giving back to the community that raised him.
The Mainstay Foundation is supporting Yusuf with his university fees as well as his accommodation, travel, and living expenses. This has enabled him to pursue this life-changing opportunity, where financial difficulties and a lack of resources had made it challenging to pursue further education. Yusuf’s story serves as inspiration to many in his situation and highlights the important work the Mainstay Foundation does in supporting students from primary to university level.
