Ngong Road Children’s Foundation has been doing an incredible job in transforming the lives of children through various programs. One of the successful programs is the Life Skills Programme, which aims to equip young people with essential life skills as they transition to the next phase of their lives.
The Life Skills Programme was designed to help students develop important life skills that would enable them to navigate through life successfully. Recently, the program targeted secondary graduates who were aspiring to join post-secondary institutions. The program was conducted for ten days, during which the students were taken through various topics such as conflict management, effective communication, critical thinking, leadership, financial management, and career guidance, among others.
The program was facilitated by a team of experienced professionals passionate about helping
young people achieve their full potential. The facilitators included Senior Caseworkers, post-secondary case managers, financial literacy facilitators, external sexual reproductive health officers, and officers from the Kenya Insitute of Business and Counselling Studies (KIBCO). The team was committed to ensuring that the students received high-quality training that prepared them for the challenges they would face in the future.
The Life Skills Programme was a resounding success, with over a 95% attendance, which was impressive. The program enabled the students to have a positive and realistic view of their strengths and weaknesses, be objective when choosing their careers, and explore their abilities versus the career world.
The feedback from the training was very positive, making the one-on-one guidance plan sessions fun as the facilitators got deeper into the students’ world. The program was transformational, and the students significantly improved their confidence, communication skills, and critical thinking abilities.
The Life Skills Programme is just one of the many programs that NRCF offers and we are committed to ensuring that every child has access to quality education and support that enables them to achieve their full potential. Join us in this journey of transforming lives!
