Two of our recent graduates

Thanks to your generous support, dreams that once felt distant are becoming real. Two of our recent graduates, Nashon and Gislaider, are examples of what’s possible when underprivileged children are empowered through education and support. Their stories reflect the impact of your support to them.

Nashon:

Nahashon joined the NRCF program in 2007 with a simple but powerful goal: to change the course of his life through education. After completing primary and secondary school, he pursued a diploma in Automotive Engineering, drawn by his love for mechanics and how things work.

His passion for technology continued to grow, leading him to make a bold shift into the world of programming. Today, Nahashon is working as a programming, applying his skills to create innovative digital solutions and proving that with the right tools, anything is possible.

“NRCF gave me the opportunity to dream bigger. Education opened the door, and now I’m using technology to shape a future I once thought was out of reach.” ~Nahashon

Gslaider:

Gislaider’s journey with NRCF began in 2009. After successfully completing her primary and secondary education, she followed her passion for helping others and earned a diploma in Social Work and Community Development.

With a heart for service, Gislaider has volunteered with organizations like the Rotary Club and the National Council for Persons with Disabilities (NCPWD), gaining experience in community work. She currently works as a cashier and waitress to support herself and her siblings, while continuing to seek opportunities to grow in her field.

“Being part of NRCF gave me the foundation to believe in myself. I want to use my education to uplift others—just as I was uplifted.” ~Gislaider

With your continued support, students like Nashon and Gslaider are not just reaching for the future, they’re building it.
