“All it takes is a spark of hope.”
In 2008, Gervas, a bright and ambitious student from a humble background, faced immense difficulty affording school fees. His life took a transformative turn when he joined Ngong Road Children’s Foundation (NRCF). With continuous support from NRCF, Gervas focused on his education, successfully completing both primary and secondary school. Driven by a strong interest in technology and a deep desire to succeed, he pursued a Diploma in Information Technology at Africa Nazarene University (ANU).
To build on his skills, Gervas entered the workforce as a data entry clerk. His dedication and analytical mindset quickly earned him a promotion to data analyst within a year.
Today, he works at CFK Africa, an organization focused on empowering unemployed youth in Kibera, Nairobi’s largest informal settlement. In his current role, Gervas leads a team of over 200 trainees, helping them access opportunities and build better futures.
Gervas’ journey is a powerful reminder that NRCF’s investment in young people doesn’t just transform individual lives — it breaks cycles of poverty and builds stronger communities through education, mentorship, and opportunity.
