Ngong Road Children’s Foundation (NRCF) remains dedicated to transforming the lives of vulnerable children through holistic and impactful programs. Among our many successful initiatives is the post-secondary computer training program. This program specifically targets high school graduates who are currently awaiting their transition to colleges and universities. We designed this program to equip students with essential computer literacy, digital skills, and technical expertise required for academic, professional, and entrepreneurial success.
As we progress through 2025, this year’s post-secondary computer training is already underway within our dedicated computer laboratory. We have partnered with Diakonia Training Institute, a respected institution that provides high-quality technical and vocational training to young people in Kenya. This collaboration ensures that the students benefit from a well-structured and industry-relevant learning experience.
The curriculum covers various topics. Students begin by mastering the fundamentals of document processing, then advance to the critical area of database management.
The goals of this carefully crafted curriculum extend beyond simply teaching software applications. They are driven by key objectives aimed at empowering our students to thrive in today’s data-driven world:
- Provide students with practical knowledge and hands-on skills in key computer applications.
- Enable learners to apply technology-driven solutions to real-world problems.
- Prepare students for the digital job market by teaching in-demand computer skills.
- Foster critical thinking, creativity, and efficiency in ICT-related fields.
- Equip students with digital skills that will ease their transition into post-secondary education by enhancing their ability to conduct online research, create presentations, complete projects, and collaborate effectively.
Through this comprehensive program, NRCF is laying a strong foundation for our students’ future success. By equipping them with essential computer literacy and in-demand digital skills, we are empowering them to become confident and capable. We are transforming their lives and equipping them to bring positive change within their communities.
