Help Transform Lives – Contribute to Our Annual Appeal!

The students we serve face more challenges than most of us can imagine. They learn early on that to survive they must embrace resilience, facing their challenges with hope, drive, passion, courage, and kindness.

We are grateful to all our sponsors who make classroom education possible for individual students.  Sponsorships cover the costs of school fees and uniforms, but Friends of Ngong Road also provides unique program support to empower students to succeed and transform their lives. These include our Life Skills Program, career counseling, employment support, basic medical care, the Saturday Program, computer certification, case managers, etc.  Our Annual Appeal directly supports these initiatives. 

Thank you to the many friends who have already donated to our annual appeal.  We are making great progress but still need additional supporters to achieve our goal of raising $170,000 by year-end. 

Your support will be DOUBLED thanks to the $85,000 matching gift from the Ted and Kathy Truscott Family Foundation.  

It’s not too late!  Help us transform lives.

Join our worldwide community coming together.

It’s time again for our Annual Gathering. This year we are gathering virtually to review 2021 and celebrate accomplishments. More than just surviving, we are embracing resilience, as has been demonstrated by our whole community responding to recent challenges. Hear stories from and about students, alumni, and staff. Get an update on the progress of the new Elimu Hub. And, learn about insights we discovered when we surveyed our First 100 Alumni. 

Embracing Resilience is about responding to the ever-changing world we live in, focused on our mission to transform lives through education. We hope you will join us at one of our events!

RSVP – Thurs 11/4 – 6pm Central – via Zoom
RSVP – Tues 11/9 – 8am Central (5pm East Africa) – via Zoom
