My name is George, and my life took a turn for the better when I became a part of the Ngong Road Children’s Foundation. I grew up in a loving home, but my parents struggled to make ends meet. But even though life was tough, I never gave up on my dreams. While attending one of the NRCF’s elementary focus schools, I found a supportive environment that encouraged my academic and sports pursuits. My love for football and rugby became a cornerstone of my character, teaching me teamwork, discipline, and perseverance.

As I progressed in my education, my passion for electrical engineering emerged. I was determined to turn my dreams into reality, and I enrolled at the National Industrial Training Authority (NITA) to pursue my passion. I had the dedication and eagerness to learn, and I therefore put myself out there to do extra learning even on my own.

The introduction of the apprenticeship program by Ngong Road Children’s Foundation to support on-the-job training was a huge game changer, and it impacted me positively. Recognizing my determination and commitment, the program provided me with opportunities to gain real-life experience in electrical engineering. By nurturing my passion for electrical engineering, the program made it possible for me to access hands-on training from those in the same field.

Today, I am on the path to achieving my dream of owning my own engineering firm. The apprenticeship program not only sharpened my technical skills but also instilled in me the values of integrity and hard work. I am grateful to Ngong Road Children’s Foundation for guiding me through the apprenticeship program and to my sponsor for ensuring that I get a quality education through financial assistance.

My name is Hellen, and I am a proud alumni of Ngong Road Children’s Foundation. Joining the program was a journey. I attended GSU primary school, where I laid the foundation for my academic pursuit. I completed my primary education and got the opportunity to join a girls boarding high school in Limuru.

During high school, I excelled academically and nurtured my talents and passions, focusing on self-improvement and personal growth. Participated in high jump competitions, marathons, and environmental clubs, developing appreciation for nature. After graduating high school I attended Belmont College’s computer packages classes through NRCF program.

Later joined the Institute of Advanced Technology and started my a course in Business Administration and Management. It was a period of personal growth and after completing the certificate level, I took a Diploma in the same course. I then proceeded for attachment at the Kenyatta National Hospital where I served as an administrator. My dedication and commitment to work did not go unnoticed as a doctor at the facility recognized my potential during this period and I then also worked as his personal assistant.

After graduating college, the doctor hired me as his personal assistant due to my work ethic during the attachment period. I enjoy using my management skills, interacting with various professions, and expanding my network . I am now able to support myself and my family with this job.

The program has empowered me through quality education and well-being, shaping me into the woman I am today. As I aspire for my future, I recognize the vital role it played in shaping me. I am forever appreciative.

Transform a life today.
