Help us reach our fundraising goal by Dec. 31st

Your donation is a path to success

Students success

Funding a quality education is at the center of what we do, yet education doesn’t stop at the classroom door. A critical part of our student’s success is the comprehensive support programs and people we uniquely provide all our students. These initiatives equip students with the tools they need to prepare and secure meaningful employment.

  • Every student has a guidance counselor to encourage our students and monitor their ongoing progress.
  • Our students receive healthcare, food support and access to a wide range of wellness programs.
  • Life skills training to equip students with essential self-awareness, social, and career development skills to confidently navigate personal and professional challenges.
  • Employment readiness programs and assistance to support students transition from education to sustainable careers by enhancing their employability. 
  • Mentorship to guide and support students in their personal and professional growth. 

These initiatives equip students with the tools they need to succeed in school, then prepare and secure meaningful employment. 

These supportive programs are funded through individual contributions, above sponsorships.  Every contribution makes a significant difference in helping our students break the cycle of poverty. 

Please donate today. We still need to raise $35,000 to reach our $100,000 goal before December 31st. Your donation will help us secure the entire $100,000 match from the Ted and Kathy Truscott Challenge Grant.

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.
