Lydia’s educational journey to accountancy

Lydia joined the program in October 2009. She attended Jagiet Academy, where she completed her primary education and earned her Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE). Demonstrating exceptional dedication, Lydia further sat for and passed the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) and subsequently enrolled at Kenyatta University to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Economics and Finance. 

After graduation, Lydia gained diverse work experience, serving in the School of Business at KCA University as a customer care representative at Zuku Limited and a sales associate at Platinum Credit Limited. Currently, she is employed as an accountant at Geokarma Construction Limited while furthering her accounting studies at KCA University.

Lydia expresses profound gratitude to the organization and her late sponsor. Her life has been transformed, allowing her to support herself, her mother, and her brother. She cherishes the unwavering support from her sponsor, who she fondly remembers as a special mother figure, and who has played an important role in shaping her into the great woman she is today. 

Beyond academics, Lydia benefited greatly from the program’s offerings, including life skills workshops, computer classes, and memorable summer camps. She has grown into a focused, principled, and organized young woman, content with her current life and eager for further growth. She extends her heartfelt wishes for the continued success of Ngong Road Children’s Foundation in supporting vulnerable students like her. Here is Lydia’s story captured in a video: Meet Lydia, a passionate accountant turning financial expertise into success!

Transform a child’s life today.
