Denzel is a unique kind of teenger.While many young people are still in the process of discovering their passions,Denzel has already mapped out a clear course for his future.He is on a mission to become an aeronautical engineeneer.
Growing up in the informal Nairobi settlements,Denzel faced numerous barriers in pursuit of his education and personal growth.But his life took a transformative turn when Ngong Road Children Foundation(NRCF) stepped in to support him with resources he needed to thrive in his learning journey.
While Denzel’s academic interest lies in the fascinating world of aircraft design and aviation technology, his heart also belongs to rugby. On the field, his enthusiasm is clear every time he plays.Thanks to his strength,determination and teamwork qualities,Denzel has helped his team win several rugby competitions advancing all the way to regional level.Balancing athletics and education has taught him discipline,perseverance and leadership,traits that will serve him well as he pursues his engineering career.
“I love how planes work,the design, the engines, how they defy gravity,” Denzel shares.
As he continues to chase his dreams,Denzel remains deeply grateful to Ngong Road Children Foundation(NRCF) for giving him hope.From rugby fields to the classroom,and one day to the runways of the world.
