My cousins are currently studying medicine and electronic engineering in China. Until recently their father was funding their university fees. But due to the worsening economic situation in Zimbabwe with the introduction of a currency that is not recognised as legal tender internationally, their father is unable to pay or afford their fees for 2017/2018.

They both only have 2 years left of their studies but may have to give up finishing university as a result of the issues in Zimbabwe.

I helped out with their fees so they could finish this year. But I recently had a baby and am now on maternity leave which has meant I am unable to help until I return to work at the end of this year.

I am seeking help so they get through this year and have future prospects because if they return to Zimbabwe there are no prospects there.

As I am on maternity, to show my appreciation for help provided, I will run a 10k with my baby for every £1,000 that is raised.
