Carolyne joined the NRCF program in 2012. Starting her education at Jagiet Academy which is one of our focus schools, she began her primary education. She then continued to Mirithu Girls High School, where she completed her secondary studies.

Her passion for community work led her to pursue a certificate in community development at Kabete National Polytechnic. After graduating, she worked as a case manager in the NRCF office in both primary and secondary departments. But her curiosity and drive didn’t stop there. When she learned about the organization’s apprenticeship program, she eagerly enrolled. For three months, she trained under a master craftsman in fashion and design, sharpening her skills with dedication. Upon completing the program, she was gifted a sewing machine, a tool that would help shape her future.

Today, Carolyne is a skilled tailor and fashion designer. She has embraced the digital age by selling her creations online and has transformed her life in ways she once only dreamed of. She now supports herself and her siblings and helps her mother with rent and groceries. 

Carolyne’s outgoing and friendly nature perfectly complements her career in fashion and design, where her warm demeanor and excellent communication skills attract loyal customers. She is deeply grateful to the Ngong Road Children’s Foundation (NRCF) for their unwavering support and extends her heartfelt thanks to her sponsor for guiding her through her entire academic journey. For Carolyne, this experience is a permanent testimony of hope, and she hopes that NRCF continues to support other vulnerable students for years to come.

Teresiah’s journey at Ngong Road Children’s Foundation began on the 12th of August, 2006, when she joined the program that would forever change her life. Starting at Jagiet Academy, she later moved to GSU Primary, where she completed her primary education. After passing the Kenya Certificate of Primary Examination, she stepped into Enna School for her secondary education, full of dreams and determination. In pursuant of her passion, Teresiah joined Mountain Top College to study Hotel Management, a field that had always captivated her heart.

Upon graduating, Teresiah’s culinary talents took her to various esteemed hotels, Kisii Mart Supermarket, IBIS Styles, Waterbuck, and White Rhino hotels, where she sharpened her skills as a chef and pastry expert. Today, she proudly serves as the Chief Cook at Ngong Road Children’s Foundation, a place that feels like home, where her journey first began.

Throughout her life, Teresiah has benefited immensely from the opportunities provided by the organization. Programs in Sexual Reproductive Health, computer classes, and medical care all played a vital role in shaping the person she has become. But it was the summer camp that truly brought her the most joy—a memory she cherishes deeply.

Growing up, Teresiah was a reserved child, keeping to herself and having only a few close friends. But over the years, she blossomed into a self-principled, organized, and responsible young woman. Now married with two beautiful children, she reflects on her journey with profound gratitude.

Teresiah is deeply thankful to Ngong Road Children’s Foundation for holding her hand through every step of her educational journey. Her heart swells with appreciation for her sponsor, who never wavered in their support. Without this unwavering support, she knows that attending school would have been an impossible dream, given the challenges her family faced. As she looks back, Teresiah’s heart is filled with hope and a wish that the organization continues to uplift and empower many more needy students, just as it did for her.
