My Nonprofit Reviews

I am in the person of Dery Anzagra Joshua, a third year student of the University For Development Studies in the northern part of Ghana pursuing Doctor of Medical Laboratory Science. The value of education is something that I understood since at a very young age. Neither of my parents had an opportunity to attend Secondary or High school and faced many struggles in their personal and professional lives because of this. They made a commitment early in my life to do everything within their power to instill in me love for formal education, learning and an understanding of the importance of hard work and dedication.

Because of their love and sacrifice over the years, I have been able to devote the time and energy necessary to academic accomplishment even though money has always been a challenge. I remain grateful to Educational Pathways International (EPI) for the tremendous assistance granted to me throughout my university education. It makes me feel that I am not alone on the journey of accomplishing my educational goals.

Educational Pathways International (EPI) has caused a great change in my life and that of my family. All hope was lost along the line during my first year days in the university. To God be the glory, this hope was restored after joining EPI family. Without support from EPI, life would have been hell in the university. My mother being the ultimate provider of the family, depends solely on her pito brewery (a local drink) to help cater for me, my father and other siblings who are still in the basic school. The meagre income she gets from this business is channeled into paying of fees making life unbearable for her.

I must therefore admit that, since I joined EPI, things have changed for the better. I do not think of how to pay my fees, accommodation, books and I do not think of how to eat before and after lectures and there is no financial burden on my parents, as to how to keep me in school and how to provide money for my upkeep.

I am highly grateful to the sponsors of Educational Pathways International (EPI), for their enormous support by transforming my life and that of my family and for helping me to realize what has been a long term dream for me.
