My name is Fammy. I was raised by my aunt It was tough and I could barely share my emotion which forced me to move in with my aunt whom I was open with and could relate to girls-related problems considering I was almost in my teenage years.

I initially learned about the program from a family acquaintance who also happens to be a board member of the Ngong Road Children’s Foundation (NRCF). My aunt made an application to the program, passed an interview, and I was admitted. I got to join one of the program’s focus schools and sat for my Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) in 2014. 

In 2015, I joined a national-level girls’ high school in Narok County. I studied there for four years, after which I sat for my national examinations. Achieving commendable grades brought joy and accomplishment, as it allowed me to pursue their chosen career at their chosen university. Completed NRCF certificate course in Computer packages before university career. In September 2019, I proceeded to join Kabarak University in Nakuru County to take a Bachelor’s Degree in the field of Mass Communication. I saw the university as a place of growth and learning, providing me with valuable opportunities.     

During my 3rd year of university, I gained experience at a reputable news agency through attachment. This experience allowed me to interact with different individuals, gain valuable skills, and develop my professional portfolio. I completed my 4-year course in April and I am awaiting graduation which will take place in December. Recently joined NRCF’s TechMates program, focusing on Digital Marketing to enhance skills and increase employability chances.

I am grateful to the NRCF program for the support they have given me, especially in my studies. I have been able to benefit from quality education and now that I am about to graduate, I am honored to have been part of this program. Thank you for helping me transform my life.

My name is Hillary. I have distinct recollections of my time residing with my parents and siblings. During my childhood, my mother’s schedule was quite occupied with tending to my younger siblings. As a result, one day when she was away from home, I took the opportunity to venture around the neighborhood.

I encountered a group of friends playing at a school compound, and I decided to join them. Later, I learned that Ngong Road Children’s Foundation was holding their Saturday program at that time in this location.

I persisted in returning until I was fortunate enough to secure an interview. I passed the interview and joined the program. Since then, I have achieved a lot academically and in other areas. I’ve earned awards for academics and led camps between 2017 and 2019, showcasing both scholastic excellence and leadership skills.

I did well in my Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE), and I joined a provincial-level boys’ high school. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I completed high school a year later than I was supposed to.

I joined Moi University to pursue a course in Social Work. Driven by sincere passion, I’ve chosen this course to optimize conditions for others’ success, reflecting my genuine commitment.

Before joining Moi University, I was trained as a Youth Peer Provider (YPP) by the program, and I have since been facilitating Sexual Reproductive Health talks amongst my peers and younger students in the program. As the chairperson of the YPP group, I find fulfillment in actively promoting awareness, particularly among teenagers.

Currently on an internship at Ngong Road Children’s Foundation under the Secondary Department. I feel fulfilled because I am not only putting into practice what I am learning in school, but I am also giving back to the NRCF community. I aspire to complete my degree and hopefully take a master’s, as I also want to become a lecturer.

The NRCF program has had a profoundly positive impact on my life by providing me with quality education, for which I am truly grateful.

Transform a life.    

My name is Miracle. My mother, younger brother, and I reside in Nairobi. I joined the Ngong Road Children’s Foundation program in fifth grade. It was a turning point in my life. The program provided me with an opportunity to excel academically and pursue my dreams.

It was at the program that I joined one of their focus primary schools, which gave me a sense of purpose. I felt inspired and motivated to become a better version of myself. I was a hardworking student, and my hard work and dedication paid off when I sat for the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) and performed above average.

I knew that I wanted to continue my education and pursue my dream of becoming a surgeon. My KCPE performance secured me a slot at a girls boarding school in Embu County, where I am currently studying. I am determined to excel academically, and I have joined the environmental club to learn more about nature and how to take care of the environment. My dream is to get an A and join Moi University to study medicine. I want to become a surgeon and make a difference in people’s lives. I believe that education is the key to success, and I am willing to work hard to achieve my goals.

I also want to travel and invest in medical facilities. I want to help people who cannot afford medical care and make a difference in their lives. I believe that I can achieve my dreams, and I will make sure I make that dream come true.

My journey has not been easy, but I am grateful for the opportunities that the Ngong Road Children’s Foundation program has provided me. It has given me purpose and optimism, and I am determined to make the most of it. I want to inspire other children who are facing similar challenges to believe in themselves and work hard towards achieving their dreams.
