New student: Martiniusi Byamungu, Clinical Medicine, Tanzania
"The new transition in my life of becoming a clinical medicine have permit me to find a good job to be able to take care of myself, my family, my community, my country. College, especially medical college in Tanzania is very expensive, so I wouldn’t be able to pay my own fees. To facilitate myself through college, I would need more than 6 years to save enough money to sustain myself through college.
This semester, I have embarked on a comprehensive educational journey across multiple foundational disciplines essential for developing into a competent medical professional. I have gained a solid grounding in understanding disease patterns, determinants of
health, and applying statistical methods to analyze health data. I learned about body systems such as the respiratory system, digestive system, and skeletal system. I also studied physiological processes and anatomical structures of the human body.
Overall, my progress during the first semester has been good. I am grateful for your support, which enables me to receive quality education as a future healthcare professional and clinical officer."
Buddy Pam: "I got to know Martiniusi during the construction of the school in the Kagera region. He volunteered from the very beginning: present every day, hardworking, friendly, and always willing to learn. His dream is to become a Clinical Officer so that he can help others and provide his family with a better future. He is intelligent, eager to learn, and has the right mindset to succeed. I believe that, with support from the iSTEPup foundation, he can truly achieve his dream and make a meaningful difference in his community."
Martiniusi's application was discussed in November 2025 during our application selection day. With the help of iSTEPup, Martiniusi can start his study to become a Clinical Officer!
