Luther Alumni Magazine featured our very own Michael and Leah Switzer! Read more about their two years in Kenya where Michael helped start Karibu Loo, the portable sanitation company that supports the charitable mission to help educate kids. “The board of Friends of Ngong Road believes that with the addition of earned income in Nairobi, Kenya through Karibu Loo, our mission of educating some of the world’s poorest children will become much more sustainable.”
Annual Gathering 2016
Thank you to those who joined us at the 2016 Annual Gathering held on October 24 at the Pourhouse in Minneapolis. Paula Meyer and the Ngong Road Children’s Foundation Board Chair from Kenya, Rajpreet Bains, provided program updates and shared stories of what our kids “can do.” Elisha can become a civil engineer. Michael can lead others. Winnie can read. Mary can transform her life. We are proud of our kids!
And just as our kids can do so much, we thank and applaud our sponsors, donors, and partners for all you can and have done. Your support has made education possible for nearly 400 children. Your support gives children the chance to say “I Can” both today and in the future.
A special shout out to event volunteers and to the band Six Still Standing for providing entertainment at this year’s event. We hope to see everyone next year!
March 2017 Trip to Kenya!
A few spots are still available for our March 2017 trip! Meet children in the program who are transforming their lives amidst daily hardships. Meet their parents and caseworkers. Visit a school, a home, the computer lab and library. Participate in Saturday program. And of course, go on a few safaris!
Friends of Ngong Road is partnering with fellow Minneapolis based non-profit Wilderness Inquiry to offer this incredible experience. The trip is 10 days – long enough to have a valuable experience, but doable for many working people or students. Trip cost is $3,995 plus airfare. To learn more contact lacey@ngongroad.org view complete trip details on Wilderness Inquiry’s website.
