NGO Support Helps Blessing Build a Better Future
Her name is Blessing, and true to her name, she brings hope wherever she goes. She joined our program with one goal, to improve her family’s situation and build a better future. Thanks to our NGO support, Blessing gained access to quality education. After finishing primary school, she moved on to high school. She is now on a path from poverty to a brighter future.
Blessing dreams of becoming an accountant. She works hard in school and does well consistently. Because of her dedication and positive attitude, her school recognised her and made her a class prefect, a leadership role. At our NGO, we are proud to support her journey. Through life skills training, education programs, and personal mentorship, she is becoming a confident young leader ready to shape her future.
As we continue to support her, Blessing shows us that real change happens when young people are empowered through education.
Dan’s Visit to Nairobi
Traveling to Kenya for the first time is an experience that is hard to capture in words. As Paula often says, “we have to get you to Kenya,” and now I fully understand why. The week was remarkable in every way—equal parts energizing, humbling, and inspiring. I return to the U.S. with deep gratitude for what our community of Friends of Ngong Road has built and for the extraordinary team at the Ngong Road Children’s Foundation (NRCF), whose professionalism, energy, and commitment to our mission left me so confident in our future.
One of the highlights was attending Saturday Program, where nearly 150 kids gathered for “crazy games.” I joined a relay race involving balloons and, despite being the self-proclaimed “slow American,” my team pulled off the win. These moments of laughter and connection reminded me that our mission is not only about education and opportunity but also about joy, resilience, and community.
In every classroom I visited, every story I heard, and every handshake I received, I saw the tangible impact of your support. This video captures just a fraction of that journey, but I hope it conveys the same sense of awe, gratitude, and possibility that I carried home.
