Meet Edmond, an aspiring lawyer

My name is Edmond, and I joined the Ngong Road Children’s Foundation in 2014. Before joining the program, life was challenging for my brother and me. We were under the care of our aunt, who had her own child, which made it difficult for her to meet our basic needs. She struggled to afford food, shelter, and school fees for all three of us. Fortunately, my aunt learned about NRCF and the impact it has on providing education to underprivileged children. Desiring a better life for me, she sought their support. She applied, and after the interview process, I was accepted into the sponsorship program.

I completed my primary education at Nelson Mandela Primary School, where I built a solid foundational knowledge. I then transitioned to Agoro Sare High School for my secondary education, a time of further learning and personal development. During this period, I actively participated in transformative programs offered by NRCF, including life skills training and mental health awareness.

I worked hard academically and achieved a B grade in my secondary school examinations, graduating from high school in 2024. This achievement is particularly meaningful to me as it symbolizes a victory over the challenges my brother and I encountered in our early years. In addition to my academic pursuits, I have always enjoyed playing football and the mental challenge of solving puzzles.  These hobbies provide a welcome balance to my studies.

Looking toward the future, I have a strong aspiration to pursue a degree in Law at the University of Nairobi. The dedication and exemplary leadership of the current president of the Law Society of Kenya, Faith Odhiambo, serve as a powerful inspiration for me. Therefore, I hope to contribute to the justice system and make a positive impact on society through law.

The support I have received from NRCF has been invaluable throughout my journey. I am deeply grateful for the opportunities they have provided. I want to thank the organization and my sponsor for investing in me. They have not only supported my education but also nurtured my interests and aspirations. I am excited about the future and determined to make the most of the foundation that has been laid for me.

Guiding Students to Successful Post-secondary Careers

The joy of participating in building your future career is unmatched. In the 2025 Scholarship Committee meeting, recent high school graduates were interviewed for university scholarships.

As part of the interview process, the students were asked to explain their chosen career paths and the reasons behind their selections. This activity empowers them to make informed choices and ensures a high completion rate of postsecondary education among our students. This leads to them getting employment, which transforms their lives.

The committee reviewed 16 scholarship applications from 2024 high school graduates and one student from the class of 2023. They assessed each student’s choices, evaluated their understanding of these choices, and ensured alignment with their interests and strengths. Additionally, they provided advice and guidance on the next steps related to these selections. When necessary, they collaborated with students to revise their choices.


After a thorough evaluation, the scholarship committee approved 6 students to pursue STEM-related courses, 4 for social sciences, and 7 for arts and sports courses.

They also made several important recommendations to NRCF to enhance the support provided to students through the scholarship program. It was noted that some students lacked assertiveness and would benefit from coaching and mentorship to develop essential soft skills such as communication. This will empower the students to have successful post-secondary careers.
