Hello Alemayehu. Thank you for your post. Just want to enquire if there is any sponsorship opportunity to attend such nobel gathering. Kind regards

Hello Dr Aminu, Thank you for your interest. We don’t have any travel sponsorship for now, but you are welcome to apply for a registration fee waiver, and we would also be happy to provide an official letter if that would help secure travel funding from other organizations.

Additionally, if we are successful in obtaining sponsorship from certain organizations, we may be able to support the travel of a participant to Kigali. However, this is still to be confirmed at the moment.

Please let us know if you would like to pursue any of these options. Kind regards

[AHIsa]

Thank you so much for your timely reply. I will be very happy if I can be secured any sponsorship opportunity for me to attend the program as I am financial constrained. Or, let me know any of these organizations capable of sponsoring my participation. I sincerely appreciate your response.

Best regards
