First Class Honors

This year has been incredible for us in terms of getting exceptional performances from our students and Sallyanne is one of those students who has made us extremely proud. Sallyanne has become the first student ever since the organization started to get first-class honors! This is the highest achievement ever made by a post-secondary student.

Sallyanne joined Kabarak University in May 2018 and was admitted to the Bachelor of Mass Communication. She was doing exceptionally well in her studies as could be seen from her end-of-semester results. In September of 2021, she was attached to a local radio station where she worked for three months and December marked the end of her studies. 

In January 2022, Sallyanne was among the first students to join the TechMates program where she specialized in Digital Marketing. She has since been creating content for both the NRCF and FoNR websites as well as managing the content on both social media pages and she helps in training new Digital Marketing TechMates who join the program. It is from the program that she got an opportunity to work with Lido Nation which is a Cardano staking pool. She works for Lido Nation as a content writer, a website translator, a social media manager and she is also a trainer for mentees who would like to learn more about Blockchain. The greatest highlight of working for Lido Nation was when she became a co-proposer in a proposal that got funded.

Sallyanne graduated on the 16th of December 2022 making her a journalist by profession. She received an award during the annual AGM as the first student to get first-class honors. Her role model is Larry Madowo and she hopes to become an equally great journalist. She has set the pace for our post-secondary students and we hope that many will follow suit. Congratulations Sallyanne!

Meet Wenceslaus, Case Manager in the Primary Department

“The very essence of leadership is that you have to have a vision. You can’t blow an uncertain trumpet.”, This quote would best describe Wenceslaus’s childhood. Wenceslaus, mostly known as “Wence” by his peers and a beneficiary of the organization was born and raised in Nairobi, Dagoretti, where he lived with his grandmother.

His leadership was evident right from High school, as he was a dorm captain and the hockey team captain. You might think that this is as far as he could go in terms of being a visionary leader and taking charge, but there is more to Wence than meets the eye. He was one of the instrumental and key people who were the pioneers of being volunteers as Youth Peer Providers (YPP) when the SRH program was started back in 2017 in the organization, right after he had completed his secondary education.

It would also interest you to know that he is loved by the younger students in the organization. Wence takes pride in being a major contributor and facilitator of the Saturday programs. He would be studying at Kabete National Polytechnic in social work and community development, and at the same time, he would still find time to volunteer as a facilitator in the Saturday program. He would interact with the kids, thus creating a strong bond. Little did he know that he would get the chance to work with the kids as their case manager.

His love for and commitment to work during his internship at the organization is one of the factors that led to his being absorbed as a case manager in the primary department. He loves working as a case manager, and he describes it as a way of showing appreciation to the organization, as it was through them that he got a sponsor to take him through his education. Wence hopes to accomplish a lot for the organization and for himself as he maneuvers through and explores his career.

Thanks to Friends of Ngong Road and the Ngong Road Children’s Foundation for transforming this young man’s life through education.
