The Ngong Road Children’s Foundation (NRCF) aims to challenge, empower, and prepare its students for a successful future. This commitment was recently demonstrated when five of our post-secondary students Raymond, June, Boaz, Edmond, and Evelyne completed the DirectEd Development Foundation Bootcamp Programme.
After months of intensive training, they proudly joined 34 other graduates from Kenya and Ethiopia who completed the third edition of the program. These young innovators gained practical skills in three important and in-demand areas:
- Full-Stack Web Development Fundamentals
- Generative AI Engineering Fundamentals
- User Interface and Experience Design Fundamentals
The graduation ceremony, hosted by Blockchain Centre NBO, was a celebration of growth and creativity. Our beneficiaries didn’t just complete lessons; they built real projects, collaborated across teams, solved problems, and pushed beyond their comfort zones.
They leave this program not only with certificates but with the skills and confidence to create, innovate, and contribute meaningfully to the fast-growing tech ecosystem in Africa.
Among the proud graduates, Raymond stood out as one of the 12 top-performing students selected to join the DirectEd Talent Programme. This achievement means he will now access paid internship opportunities with DirectEd and its partner companies.
We celebrate our graduates for their determination and success and will continue doing what we do best, which is to transform lives through education and opportunity.
