A partnership with NGAO Foundation

Partnership for Children in Need

The Ngong Road Children’s Foundation and the NGAO Foundation have partnered to enhance their impact on the lives of children and people living in challenging circumstances. Our joint efforts aim to bring together young adults who are on holiday breaks through educational and mentorship programs. These programs are designed to reduce the likelihood of drug abuse, early pregnancy, and immoral behavior.

The NGAO Foundation recently visited our office, and we had an engaging session where we introduced them to the various areas in which we implement positive change. This partnership is more than just a collaboration; it’s a promise to our community. We are dedicated to providing essential services, support, and opportunities. From education to healthcare, our efforts are making a tangible difference in people’s lives.

Reagan’s Passion for Math and Medicine

My name is Reagan, I’m 13 years old and currently in 8th grade at Ndurarua Primary School. I have a passion for swimming, dancing, and playing soccer. Among my favorite subjects are Math, Science, and Agriculture.

Sponsor Education & Healthcare

As a junior math teacher for my peers, I felt honored when our teacher selected me for this role. I devote much of my free time to helping my friends with mathematics. I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and aiding others in understanding the subject.

I want to become a doctor in the future because I have a strong interest in science and a curiosity about the human body and its functions. Healthcare is the most important industry and the demand for skilled healthcare professionals is constantly increasing. There is an ever-growing need for doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals, meaning there are plenty of job opportunities in this field.

Sponsor Education & Healthcare

I want to travel to Kos, Greece in the future. The birthplace of Hippocrates, the father of medicine, must be on every doctor’s bucket list of travel destinations. This island is approximately 112 square miles and has ancient monuments, beautiful beaches, and a rich history. The Asklepion sanatorium, built in the 4th century, is the most renowned site in Kos, featuring thermal baths and an intricate piping system that ensures a steady supply of clean spring water.

Ngong Road Children’s Foundation has played a pivotal role in helping me achieve my goals. By providing education mentorship, and school resources, you can empower young individuals like me to reach our full potential. Your investment in education and healthcare will create a brighter future for our community.

A school leader and a visionary pioneer in medicine

My name is Cheryl and I am 15 years old. I have a strong passion for reading novels and cooking. I live with both of my parents and two wonderful siblings. Currently, I am a student at Our Lady of Mercy, studying in Form 2. I am also honored to serve as my school’s assistant dining hall captain. My favorite subjects are biology and geography, and I am an active member of the debates club. In my free time, I often dedicate myself to studying. I also make sure to set aside time for entertainment, particularly on Saturdays.

In the future, I aspire to become a doctor because of my deep compassion for people. I want to be able to contribute to society by providing care and support to those in need. Furthermore, I hope to be able to fully support my family and live a fulfilling life. Additionally, I dream of the opportunity to travel and work in India, as they have some of the best doctors and medical equipment in the world. This would be an incredible experience and a chance to expand my knowledge and skills.

In addition, I would like to extend an invitation to sponsors and donors to support the Ngong Road Children’s Foundation. Your contribution can significantly impact the lives of underprivileged children, providing them with education, healthcare, and a brighter future.

Transform a life today.
