Who We Are

Friends of Ngong Road (FoNR) and Ngong Road Children Association (NRCA) are sister organizations with a shared mission, principles and values. We hold a deep belief in the value of education and the hope it can bring to young lives.

The devastation caused by HIV/AIDS in Kenya has left the country with approximately 1 million orphaned children and many more living with a surviving HIV+ parent. Children in this program all live in the slums of Dagoretti, Nairobi where the median household income is under two dollars per day. Approximately 50% of the children in the program are orphans and the other 50% live with a surviving HIV+ parent. About 5% of children in the program are themselves HIV+.

Education Changes Everything

Today he has his diploma in community development and is a caseworker at our local office. George is an inspiration to many young students and an example of one life transformed because of education.

Change a life forever. Sponsor a child.

"I looked in the eyes of a parent who probably wouldn't survive the year and I promised we would look after her children. I am determined to keep my word."
