As a locally-led organization, our Case Managers are the backbone of the program’s success. They walk hand in hand with our students throughout their educational journeys, making sure they have the support and guidance they need to achieve their dreams.
Tunda–Senior Case Manager
Tunda joined our organization in 2010 as a volunteer caseworker, giving back to the community. A year later, she became a full-time case manager. She has held multiple positions in her 16 years, but her consistent presence, care for the students, and bright personality make her a beacon for many students.
Tunda was born into a polygamous Maasai family whose father had three wives; she therefore has fourteen brothers and sisters in total. She grew up in a small village in Maasai land and faced her share of challenges and hurdles to get an education. Tunda works closely with the college students, supporting them through education, mentorship, and life skills. She plays a pivotal role in supporting teenagers and youths to discover their potential and explore different opportunities. Tunda is a university graduate with a degree in development studies and a certified life skills coach. Her work is guided by a simple but powerful belief: when children are given education, support, and confidence, they can transform not only their own lives but the future of the world around them.

“At Ngong Road Children’s Foundation, we don’t just support children through education; we walk beside them as they discover their potential and build a future they once only dreamed of.”
George–Junior Case Manager
Social work has always been a passion for George. After being supported throughout his education, he earned a diploma in Community Development from Mount Kenya University. Through the generous sponsorship of Bob Tritt and Louise Tritt, George completed his studies and pursued his dream of giving back to society.
Despite challenges, including peer pressure during his school years, he remained focused and graduated in 2016. His passion for helping others led him to choose Community Development as a way of supporting the community that nurtured him.
Today, George works as a caseworker at Ngong Road Children’s Foundation, where he is committed to improving the lives of students and making a positive impact in society.
Having gone through our program and now being a case manager, he’s able to relate to and serve other students in a unique way, having been in their shoes.
