Poem by Steve Kotvis

Taller, stronger, smarter
Our children have become
High school graduates
Equaling more than 60 in sum

The students are focused
They see before them what others can do
Weā€™ve added experience and jobs
With the advent of Karibu Loo

ā€œIā€™m workingā€ is embraced
From classroom to fore
ā€œItā€™s working!ā€ Ngong Roadā€™s mission
The future offers so much more

Your continued support is priceless
Itā€™s transforming lives of those in need
Grade school to growing up
Our children are learning to succeed

Our Students Outperform the Kenyan Average!

Our kids have once again outperformed the Kenyan average on their Kenyan Comprehensive Primary Exams (an exam 8th graders take to determine high school placement) with an average of 310 out of 500! The Kenyan average was 205.  Congratulations and kudos to our children and sponsors who make a great education and support possible!
