Thank you from our team in Kenya

As we head into this week of Thanksgiving in the United States, I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to be part of this community—spread across continents, connected by a shared belief in the potential of young people in Nairobi.

The video below captures something I saw so clearly when I visited Nairobi: the extraordinary dedication of our team and the real impact your support makes in the lives of students. Our team in Kenya is the heart of our work. They lead our mission and turn your investment into impact every day.

From all of us at Friends of Ngong Road, and especially from our team in Nairobi: thank you for being part of this mission, for believing in our students, and for fueling the realization of potential, both for our students and our work overall.

    I was fortunate to visit Nairobi for the wedding of the student I sponsored since elementary school. Her life was truly transformed. She has a job she loves. Some of my family, including my eight year old granddaughter who now has a friend her age that she is sponsoring. My son is also sponsoring a student.
    Seeing is believing! We visited the headquarters, the Saturday program, did fun things with our students and visited their homes in Dagoretti. I can say from the bottom of my heart that NRCF is truly changing lives.
