This Saturday at the Ngong Road Children’s Foundation was full of fun, games, and learning. The program began with a tasty lunch, followed by an exciting game of kickball. The boys were divided into two teams, with one team kicking the ball and the other trying to catch it before their opponents could run around the small field. This activity encouraged fun, creativity, decision-making, and teamwork among both teams.

The girls displayed their impressive dance moves from their dance club lessons, bringing bright and shining smiles to everyone’s faces. Meanwhile, the art club proudly showcased their passion for creativity through breathtaking sketches that demonstrated each student’s artistic talents.

The financial literacy team engaged in a lively game of Monopoly – a classic board game that is not only enjoyable but also highly educational. Monopoly, derived from The Landlord’s Game created by Lizzie Magie in 1903, teaches economic theories and demonstrates that an economy rewarding individuals is better than one where monopolies hold all the wealth. Monopoly enhances cognitive development, promotes a positive attitude towards money, highlights the importance of goal-setting, fosters resilience, and instructs on risk/reward concepts as well as long and short-term investing strategies.

The football enthusiasts also had a thrilling match between two teams showcasing their skills and creative techniques on the field.

The day wrapped up with candy and snacks as the children mingled and enjoyed some free time together. Your generous contributions enable us to organize such impactful events which transform these young lives. You can continue to be part of our journey by volunteering, donating or sponsoring a child – ensuring our ability to touch even more lives in positive ways.

Fun, Football, and Financial Literacy

This Saturday was truly fantastic! We had an absolute blast at the Ngong Road Children’s Foundation. After a delicious and hearty meal, we kicked off the day with a football tournament “Alive and Kicking.” It was a joy to see our boys split into three teams, all giving their best on the field. When one team scored, the other graciously stepped aside for the next team. The skill and creativity displayed by each player were remarkable.

Teens Table Talents Day

Ngong road children’s foundation

Last Saturday, the Ngong Road Children’s Foundation came alive with the Teens Table Talents Day. Our main goal was to empower our children by allowing them to participate in activities they are passionate about. We organized our very first football tournament, featuring teams for kids under ten, those under fifteen, and even an adult team. It was a day filled with excitement, as both our under ten and adult teams performed admirably, defeating our highly skilled and energetic opponents.

Mr. Paul Dalizu took center stage, captivating everyone with his session on the essence of values, using money as a prime example. His words were profound: much like money’s worth remains undiminished despite any blemishes, our inherent values define us beyond any external imperfections.
