Emmanuel

Emmanuel joined the program in 2010. Having to pay for his education as a child was a tremendous challenge for his family. Friends of Ngong road gave him a sponsor and enabled him to continue his academic career.

We transferred Emmanuel to one of our focus elementary schools immediately after admitting him to the program. He considered it a far better school than his previous school.

After completing his primary education, he attended a boys high school in Nairobi, where he completed his secondary education and joined the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology. His graduation was originally scheduled for November last year but was postponed to July this year because of the COVID pandemic.

Emmanuel holds a Certification in Business Administration and in Business Information Technology. Emmanuel is currently interning at Ngong Road Children’s Foundation as a tech intern.
