Financial strain and suicide attempts are becoming part of the big deal in the universities and college students in Kenya. While doing my research of what has been happening and the factors that a leading in causing such suicide cases I found one of them to be having a higher rating which is the mis management of funds. What is mismanagement of funds in university? What causes the mismanagement of funds in the university? Do parents usually send money to their children at School? Will these problems get a solution? These are some of the questions that kept ringing in my mind while doing this research. After a few consultations by interrogating my friends and fellow students in Katarina university that probably what might be some factors that can cause such issues that I have stated above, I came to conclude that there is a problem when it comes to the student’s side in the management of the money they are sent by the parents. Parents usually send money to their children and have expectations that the money sent to these students can be used in a specific period of time. The money is in the child’s hand, they fail to plan on how to use it and thus causing overestimation of budget which leads to early consumption of the money they were given by their parents. Ladies in universities also go to an extent of being used by men in order to get money to sustain them so that they can wait for their parents to send some cash to them Some of them go to an extent of taking alcohol and doing immoral things at school because of the amount of money they receive at once from their parent. These can go to an extent of being stressed and later some of them prefer suicide. As a computer science student, I thought of this to be stopped by implementing a software that can be used to bridge the connection between the parents and the children at the university. Using the current technology, we can use them to solve such problems and thus end up saving lives of many at the university.
