Why I need the iSTEPup Foundation
I am applying for support from the iSTEPup Foundation because I am committed to pursuing Diploma in state registered Nurse and also build a career in healthcare. Nursing is a profession that requires dedication, knowledge, and practical skills, and I want to acquire the necessary training to provide safe and compassionate care to patients and contribute to improving the health of my community.
However, the financial costs associated with nursing education, including tuition fees, books, uniforms, transportation, accommodation, and other learning materials, are difficult for me and my family to meet. Without financial assistance, these challenges may affect my ability to continue and successfully complete my nursing education.
Support from the iSTEPup Foundation would give me the opportunity to pursue my nursing studies with greater financial stability and focus on my studies. It would help me develop the knowledge and clinical skills needed to become a competent State Registered Nurse.
My long-term goal is to use my nursing skills to serve patients, support my community, and contribute to improving healthcare delivery in Sierra Leone. I believe that education is an important investment in the future, and the support of the iSTEPup Foundation would help me achieve my goal of becoming a qualified nurse and making a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

Isatu Mansaray – Hospital Matron, Masanga Hospital, Sierra Leone
Mrs. Salamatu has been working under my supervision as I’m the hospital matron at Masanga Hospital where I have observed her consistently excel in her role as a State Enrolled Community Health Nurse (SECHN).
She is a diligent, dedicated passionate nurse who has earned the respect of her colleagues and patients as well. Her hard work towards this nursing profession has led her with a lot of promotion as head of shift at the maternity unit, Emergency unit and Paediatric unit which serves as a testament to her leadership potential and dedication. Mrs. Salamatu ambitions is to become a state Registered Nurse (SRN) which is admirable and aligns with her desire to improve healthcare standards across Sierra Leone.
As her Buddy, I’m kindly pleading that iStepUp foundation will support her through this Scholarship as she undergoes this course to become a State Registered Nurse which will be beneficial to the people of Sierra Leone at Tonkolili District. I have every confidence that she will makes excellent use of this opportunity.
