Teresiah’s journey at Ngong Road Children’s Foundation began on the 12th of August, 2006, when she joined the program that would forever change her life. Starting at Jagiet Academy, she later moved to GSU Primary, where she completed her primary education. After passing the Kenya Certificate of Primary Examination, she stepped into Enna School for her secondary education, full of dreams and determination. In pursuant of her passion, Teresiah joined Mountain Top College to study Hotel Management, a field that had always captivated her heart.
Upon graduating, Teresiah’s culinary talents took her to various esteemed hotels, Kisii Mart Supermarket, IBIS Styles, Waterbuck, and White Rhino hotels, where she sharpened her skills as a chef and pastry expert. Today, she proudly serves as the Chief Cook at Ngong Road Children’s Foundation, a place that feels like home, where her journey first began.
Throughout her life, Teresiah has benefited immensely from the opportunities provided by the organization. Programs in Sexual Reproductive Health, computer classes, and medical care all played a vital role in shaping the person she has become. But it was the summer camp that truly brought her the most joy—a memory she cherishes deeply.
Growing up, Teresiah was a reserved child, keeping to herself and having only a few close friends. But over the years, she blossomed into a self-principled, organized, and responsible young woman. Now married with two beautiful children, she reflects on her journey with profound gratitude.
Teresiah is deeply thankful to Ngong Road Children’s Foundation for holding her hand through every step of her educational journey. Her heart swells with appreciation for her sponsor, who never wavered in their support. Without this unwavering support, she knows that attending school would have been an impossible dream, given the challenges her family faced. As she looks back, Teresiah’s heart is filled with hope and a wish that the organization continues to uplift and empower many more needy students, just as it did for her.
