George’s Educational Journey

My name is George. I live with my parents, and I have two siblings. My mother is a tailor, and my father is a mechanic at a local shop in my neighborhood. Getting the opportunity to join Ngong Road Children’s Foundation was a lifelong dream for my educational success. When I joined the NRCF program, I moved to one of the program’s focus schools.

After I sat for my Kenya Certificate of Primary Education, I achieved above-average marks and then enrolled in a secondary school. Being a student there is truly enjoyable. I especially love attending practical lessons at the lab for Biology and Chemistry subjects, and I am also involved in extracurricular activities such as football and the debate club. I am working hard to earn good grades in my exams and gain admission to University once I complete my high school education.

Aspiring to join the University of Nairobi and pursue a course in Aeronautical Engineering. I have always had an interest in planes, and since my father is a mechanic, I developed an interest in working with different tools. He is my role model, and I hope to become even better at working with tools. I am grateful to the Ngong Road Children’s Foundation (NRCF) program for believing in me and taking me through my education, and I hope to achieve my educational dreams and make myself and them proud.
