“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 transformed from hardship to hope 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.
