Elizabeth joined the program on May 13, 2007, after tragically losing her parents when she was just 4 years old. With no choice but to live with her aunt, they faced severe financial struggles that made it difficult for Elizabeth to stay in school. However, joining the program became a beacon of hope. She was finally able to attend school without interruptions. She was enrolled at Ngando Preparatory School for her primary education, and later she joined Kangaru Girls High School, one of the top schools in Embu, for her secondary education.
During her time in school, Elizabeth’s leadership qualities stood out, and she was elected as the assistant head girl. After successfully completing her Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE), she pursued her passion for law by joining the University of Nairobi to study for a Bachelor’s degree in Law. Following that, she attended the Kenya School of Law for a year to obtain a diploma and deepen her understanding of Kenya’s constitution. Elizabeth completed her pupillage at Mamboleo Advocates and was proudly admitted to the bar.
Now, as a lawyer in the High Court of Kenya, Elizabeth reflects on her journey. She acknowledges that without the support of the Ngong Road Children’s Foundation, she would not have had the opportunity to receive an education after being orphaned at such a young age. Joining the program became the turning point in her life. She was able to focus on her studies without further disruptions, all thanks to the unwavering support of her sponsor, who walked with her every step of the way. Elizabeth expresses deep gratitude to them, praying that they receive endless blessings.
Today, Elizabeth’s life is transformed. She lives in a good home and can support her daily needs. She has even extended her support to help her cousin. The impact of the Ngong Road Children’s Foundation is permanent in her life. Through our programs like computer classes, life skills training, and summer camps, Elizabeth has gained invaluable tools to navigate her career. She hopes that the foundation continues its incredible work, providing opportunities to other students in need, just as it did for her.
