It’s Back-To-School Time

The halls of learning are buzzing with excitement as the children of Ngong Road Children’s Foundation (NRCF) head back to school! With the start of a new year and term, NRCF is proud to ensure that all our students are fully equipped and ready to focus entirely on their education.

Thanks to the continuous support of our community and sponsors, the children received comprehensive preparations that make their return to school smooth and stress-free.

Supplies for Success

We believe that every child deserves the tools they need to succeed. This term, NRCF provided all participating students with a complete set of essential school supplies. This included:

  • Textbooks and stationery: Ensuring every student has the necessary reading and writing materials from day one.
  • Uniforms: Providing clean, properly fitting uniforms so children can attend class with confidence and pride.
  • Backpacks: Durable bags to safely carry their books and supplies between home and school.

A Head Start with Shopping

A special highlight this term was the dedicated shopping for our students, particularly those transitioning to new levels, like high school. This initiative went beyond basic supplies to cover all necessary items for their daily routine and boarding life, where applicable. This shopping included:

  • Personal Hygiene Essentials: Ensuring Access to Necessary Items for Health and Well-being.
  • Comfort Items: Helping them settle comfortably into their school environments.

The Impact of Support

By supplying these essentials, NRCF removes significant financial barriers for the families and allows the students to concentrate on what matters most: learning. When a child doesn’t have to worry about where their next notebook or uniform will come from, their potential for academic achievement soars.

This comprehensive preparation is more than just providing items; it is investing in the dignity and future of each child. We wish all our students a successful, engaging, and fulfilling new school term!

Alumnus sponsors a child.

Emmanuel Titi always recognized how valuable his education was. With the support of his sponsor behind him, he approached his studies with genuine gratitude and unwavering commitment. Throughout his school years, Emmanuel demonstrated remarkable determination; he didn’t just meet expectations, he exceeded them. Despite the challenges and distractions that came his way, he stayed focused and consistently worked hard.

His journey is a powerful reminder of how meaningful support, paired with a student’s dedication, can open doors to life-changing opportunities. Watching Emmanuel remain true to his dream of completing his education and building a brighter future was truly inspiring. Yet his story didn’t stop once he secured employment. In a heartfelt expression of appreciation and generosity, Emmanuel made a decision that speaks volumes about his character. He chose to become a sponsor himself.

Today, Emmanuel is supporting a child through our organization, offering another young person the same transformative chance he once received. His decision represents a beautiful full-circle moment of kindness. It reflects his deep understanding of how critical that early support was in shaping his own life. Emmanuel has grown from being a success story into a role model, someone who is giving back, lifting others, and ensuring that the cycle of hope and opportunity continues for the next generation.
