Making women feel their absolute best

I am Metrine, and I grew up in Nairobi. Since I was a young girl, I have always had a passion for traveling, reading, and cooking. Life growing up was challenging especially when it came to my educational journey but in 2012, things started to change when I became a part of the Ngong Road Children’s Foundation. I joined the NRCF program and I was really excited to start this new chapter of my educational journey. I moved from my previous school and got enrolled into Jagiet Academy 

Jagiet Academy was where I excelled in my studies, conquering challenges that once felt impossible. I worked hard, and it paid off as I moved on to Highridge Girls High School for my secondary eduation. There, I continued to grow both academically and personally and it is also where I developed a passion for beauty. My unwavering determination led me to follow my dreams in beauty therapy and nail technology.

After completing my high school education, I joined Vera Beauty College and started my course. I really loved the course I was taking and because I had a passion for it, I quickly grasped the skills I needed. I enjoyed making women feel confident and beautiful and seeing their smiles warmed my heart and it was also a huge validation for me. After graduating from College, I was privileged to get a job at a nail spa and this is where I am currently working. I am also privileged to be the team leader at the nail spa. My future aspirations are that of owning my own beauty parlor and even becoming a flight attendant.

This far, I owe it all to the Ngong Road Children’s Foundation and my sponsor. Their belief in my potential gave me the chance to pursue my education and thrive. My journey is far from over, but one thing is certain: with their support, my future shines brighter than ever. Through hard work and guidance from the Ngong Road Children’s Foundation, I continue to chase my dreams with unwavering enthusiasm and hope for a successful future.

Transform a life.
