Young Talent with Big Dreams

Hey! I’m Taylor, a 13-year-old with big dreams. I love drawing, football, and swimming, and my favorite meal is ugali and chicken. I live happily with my parents and two siblings. When I grow up, I want to be a soldier, artist, and professional footballer. Being a soldier is cool because I get to help people and show how much I love my country. Art is my way of expressing myself, and football? Well, that just makes me super happy!

I’ve been part of Ngong Road Children Foundation since 2021 and currently attend one of their focus primary schools in grade five. My favorite school subjects are Maths, CRE, and physical education. During my free time, I enjoy reading and playing football.

Saturday programs are the highlight of my week. I meet peers and mentors, play football, solve puzzles, and draw. It’s a day filled with fun and learning.

During school holidays, you can catch me at Elimu Hub, leveling up my computer skills, finding cool ideas for my drawings, and picking up new tricks. Thanks to Ngong Road Children’s Foundation for granting me all these awesome opportunities. I’m learning a bunch, and I’m really thankful for that! Transform a life. 

Empowering Dreams: Becks’ Journey

My name is Becks, and I am a high school student at Ole-tipis Girls High School in Kenya. I live with my mother and two siblings, and I joined Ngong Road Children’s Foundation in 2015. Through this program, I was able to attend Jagiet Academy for my primary education, and I am now in Form Two at Ole-tipis.

I love school, and my favorite subjects are English and History. I also enjoy reading novels and cooking. I have dreams of becoming a lawyer, an author, and a chef. I chose law because I want to be a beacon of hope for the oppressed. I believe that everyone deserves to have access to justice, and I want to use my skills to help those who are unable to defend themselves.

I also love to write, and I dream of becoming an author one day. I hope to share my stories with the world and inspire others. Finally, I love to cook. I find it to be a very creative and rewarding experience. I hope to one day open my own restaurant and share my passion for food with others.

Last week, I was hosted for a career development week inside the Elimu Hub library. This was a safe space for reading and writing, and I learned so much about the power of my inner voice. I enjoyed the training immensely, and I can’t wait to share what I learned with my friends at school. I am so grateful to Ngong Road Children’s Foundation and my sponsor for believing in me and giving me the gift of education. I am also grateful to my mother for walking with me through this journey of life.

I know that I have a bright future ahead of me, and I am excited to see what it holds. I am determined to achieve my dreams and make a difference in the world. If you would like to be part of my journey and help brighten a promising future, please consider sponsoring a child through Ngong Road Children’s Foundation.

A Brighter Future with Ngong Road Children’s Foundation

My name is Britney, and I had the privilege of joining Ngong Road Children’s Foundation this year. Currently, I’m a student at Jagiet Primary which is one of the program’s focus schools, and I’m in the fifth grade. I find joy in the little things in life, like singing, drawing, and dancing, which fill my days with vibrancy and passion and this is why I joined the dance club. This year has been my best year yet, all thanks to the NRCF program. I am getting quality education, making new friends, and learning new things both academically and socially.

education

I aspire to become a teacher and share my love and compassion with others. Being a friendly person at heart, I believe teaching is the perfect path for me. In addition to teaching, I yearn to pursue professional dancing as a means of self-expression and physical exercise. But my dreams don’t stop there; I aim to build a beautiful home for my parents and offer them support for their financial needs. Through my hard work, I hope to make these dreams a reality and create a brighter future for my family and myself.

My favorite program at NRCF is the Saturday program. On Saturdays, I get to meet all my friends and we sit down to share the Saturday program meal as we tell stories of how our week has been. This is also the day when I get to dance with my fellow dance group members and now Saturday has become my favorite day of the week. I also love the Elimu Hub, which is a resource center. I especially love the Computer lab where I use the computers for learning and practicing basic computer skills like typing and I also write to my sponsor at the computer lab. I also like to visit the Library when I want to read a storybook or when I need to get learning materials.

I am grateful to the NRCF program for giving me the opportunity to join the program. I am now getting quality education without any interruption and my dreams are now looking more hopeful and achievable.

Godfrey, the Talented Barista and Mixologist

My name is Godfrey, and I’m proud to be an alumnus of the Ngong Road Children’s Foundation Foundation (NRCF). My journey in education and the professional world has been an exciting and transformative one, and I owe much of it to the support and opportunities I received during my time at NRCF.

I began my educational journey at NRCF in 2010 at Jagiet Academy, and it was here that I completed my primary education. In 2015, I embarked on a new chapter when I joined Parklands Boys High School. During my time at Parklands Boys, I wasn’t just a student; I was an active participant in various extracurricular activities. I played hockey and chess, and I also took on the role of a peer counselor, helping fellow students navigate the challenges of their academic journey and mental well-being. 

After completing my high school education, I decided to pursue my passion for creating beverages and cocktails. I enrolled at Nairobi Bar School in 2019, where I had the opportunity to learn mixology skills. I earned a Certificate in Barista Skills, which was a three-month program, followed by a six-month Diploma in Professional Bartending and Mixology.

In April 2022, I took my first step into the world of professional mixology and bartending by joining Savoan Harvest in Karen. Initially starting as a bartender and mixologist, I quickly demonstrated my dedication and skills, earning a promotion to the role of Bar Manager within just four months. As a Bar Manager, my responsibilities included maintaining stock levels, preparing cashier reports at the close of business, and devising innovative promotional concepts to boost bar revenue. This experience allowed me to not only showcase my mixology skills but also develop strategic thinking in the field.

In January 2023, I moved to work as a Mixologist at INTI in Westlands, further expanding my experience and expertise in crafting unique and delightful cocktails. I worked here till August 2023. My journey as a mixologist has been a thrilling one, and I look forward to continuing to pursue my passion in this field.

As I seek new opportunities in my career, I am currently on the lookout for a position as a mixologist or barista. I’m excited about the prospect of utilizing my knowledge and skills to create innovative and exciting beverages for customers to enjoy. Additionally, I aspire to venture into entrepreneurship in the future, where I can establish my own establishment and share my love for mixing and crafting beverages with the world.

I am immensely grateful to NRCF for their sponsorship and support during my formative years. Their assistance played a vital role in making my dreams come true and setting me on the path to a fulfilling career in mixology. I am excited about the future, and I will always cherish the memories and experiences that have shaped me into who I am today.
