At Ngong Road Children’s Foundation (NRCF), education is a long-term commitment. A student’s journey with us spans 8 to 12 years, supporting them from primary school through to employment. We don’t just pay school fees; we provide a holistic support system designed to foster self-reliance and career readiness.

A Strong Foundation (Primary & Junior Secondary)

The journey begins with enrollment, where students receive full uniforms, shoes, and textbooks. But the real growth happens outside the classroom. On Saturdays, students attend enrichment programs that include nutritional support, library activities, and coding bootcamps to reinforce their learning. As they transition into Junior Secondary School (Grades 7–9), we align with the Competency-Based Education (CBE) system, helping students discover their unique talents early on.

Senior School & Life Skills

When students enter Senior Secondary School, they typically transition to boarding schools. We ensure they have everything they need—from mattresses to personal items—so they can focus on their studies. During school breaks, we host camps focused on mental health, drug abuse awareness, and career training to build resilience for the real world.

The Bridge to Employment

After high school, the focus shifts to “Job Readiness.” To qualify for post-secondary scholarships, students must demonstrate commitment by completing a mandatory 3-month short course. Our support continues even after graduation through our Alumni Network, which offers apprenticeships and specialized training programs like Techmates (digital marketing and software development) to ensure our graduates are ready for the job market.

The Goal

From Grade 2 to their first job, our mission is simple: to raise a self-driven generation capable of solving problems and succeeding in the modern workforce.

At Ngong Road Children’s Foundation (NRCF), we believe that education is the key to unlocking a brighter future. Today, we take great pride in announcing the outstanding performance of our 2025 high school graduates.

Last year, we had 18 candidates sit for the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE). The results are in, and they are nothing short of inspiring.

A New Milestone for NRCF

For the first time in our organization’s history, we have achieved a record-breaking number of university qualifiers. Out of our 18 candidates, 11 students have qualified to pursue Degree courses.

This is a monumental achievement that highlights the hard work of our students and the dedication of our support system, in addition to our university qualifiers, 3 students qualified for Diploma courses, and 4 for Certificate courses.

We are proud to say that 100% of our candidates will be advancing their education. Every single student will be joining various Universities, Colleges, and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions across the country to further their skills and careers.

Meet Our Top Achievers

While the entire class performed admirably, we want to spotlight our top four students who have set the bar high with their results and their ambitions.

The Journey Ahead

The journey doesn’t stop at the exams. As these young adults prepare for the next chapter, they are currently engaged in our Life Skills classes, which help equip them with the social and emotional tools needed for life after high school.

Looking forward, the graduates will begin short courses in May. These courses are designed to help them identify their strengths and potential career paths before they officially join their respective tertiary institutions in September.

A Message of Gratitude

To our sponsors, donors, and the entire NRCF community: this victory belongs to you as much as it belongs to the students. Your unwavering support ensures that every child has the opportunity to stay in school and reach their full potential.

Congratulations to the Class of 2025! You have made us incredibly proud, and we wish you all the best as you start this exciting new journey.

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!
