We empower Nairobi children living in poverty to transform their lives through education and support, leading to employment.

NRCF Founder And Sponsors Visit Kenya

Our Founder and President, Paula Meyer, recently visited us in Kenya, accompanied by a group of generous sponsors. Their trip focused on engaging with the children we support, observing the impact of our programs in Kenya, and discussing our plans for the exciting future of NRCF.

Paula engaged with our dedicated staff and leadership team to discuss the foundation’s five-year plan to support 1,000 children by the year 2030 and reviewed strategies for sustainable growth. They discussed various strategies to amplify our impact and extend our support to help more children in need.

The sponsors met with current students and alumni who shared their success stories and expressed gratitude for the transformative support of the NRCF and our impact in Kenya. They created lasting memories by sharing lunch and shopping trips with their sponsored students. They also joined our Saturday Child Development  Programme where they laughed, played games, and built connections with the children. Additionally, they visited the homes of some beneficiaries to meet their families.

During the trip, Paula and the sponsors also got to experience the beauty of Kenya. They visited the Giraffe Center to interact with the gentle giants, the Elephant Orphanage to see baby elephants and the historic home of Karen Blixen. They also enjoyed thrilling safaris in national parks like Amboseli, Samburu, and Maasai Mara, hoping to see amazing wildlife.

Join us in transforming lives today!

A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Supporters This Festive Season!

In Kenya, the festive season is a time of vibrant celebration, but for some families facing challenges, it can remind them of their struggles. While many enjoy plenty of food and celebrations, vulnerable individuals often struggle to afford necessities. This situation reminds us how important it is to extend our support and kindness to these communities. This is especially crucial during the holiday season and beyond.

This year, we were able to do just that, making this festive season even more special through the heartfelt distribution of Christmas packages at our Annual General Meeting. We express our deep gratitude to our sponsors and donors and acknowledge the impact of their generosity on the children we support. We extend a special thank you to Braeburn School, Tile & Carpet Centre Ltd, and Kim-Fay East Africa Limited. Their generous donations made this year’s Christmas packages possible.

These organizations donated essential items for the packages. Braeburn School donated 150 packages while Kim-Fay East Africa Limited donated 50 bales of maize flour. Tile & Carpet Centre Ltd generously provided 150 packages and additional maize flour, wheat flour, and cooking oil. Thanks to their support, we offered packages filled with food and essential items to the families of the children we support. We helped them celebrate the holidays and create cherished memories. One grateful parent expressed with heartfelt emotion, “Thank you so much NRCF, this means the world to us. Now I have something to make this Christmas a truly special time for my children.”

In addition to the Christmas package distribution, the AGM was an exciting and engaging event. We shared important updates with parents and NRCF students, celebrating the progress and achievements of the year. We also proudly recognized and awarded our best-performing students, acknowledging their hard work and dedication.

The day was brightened by lively presentations of arts, crafts, and dance, which showcased the amazing talents of our children. A special highlight was a performance by Kipaji Kids who entertained everyone with their fun and inspiring dance routines. The AGM was a great success, allowing us to reflect on the year’s achievements and look forward to the exciting work ahead.

Please consider donating to support the Ngong Road Children’s Foundation. Together, we can transform the lives of vulnerable children.

Reagan’s Passion for Math and Medicine

My name is Reagan, I’m 13 years old and currently in 8th grade at Ndurarua Primary School. I have a passion for swimming, dancing, and playing soccer. Among my favorite subjects are Math, Science, and Agriculture.

Sponsor Education & Healthcare

As a junior math teacher for my peers, I felt honored when our teacher selected me for this role. I devote much of my free time to helping my friends with mathematics. I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and aiding others in understanding the subject.

I want to become a doctor in the future because I have a strong interest in science and a curiosity about the human body and its functions. Healthcare is the most important industry and the demand for skilled healthcare professionals is constantly increasing. There is an ever-growing need for doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals, meaning there are plenty of job opportunities in this field.

Sponsor Education & Healthcare

I want to travel to Kos, Greece in the future. The birthplace of Hippocrates, the father of medicine, must be on every doctor’s bucket list of travel destinations. The island, approximately 112 square miles in size, has ancient monuments, beautiful beaches, and a rich history. The Asklepion sanatorium, built in the 4th century, is the most renowned site in Kos, featuring thermal baths and an intricate piping system that ensures a steady supply of clean spring water.

Ngong Road Children’s Foundation has played a pivotal role in helping me achieve my goals. By providing education mentorship, and school resources, you can empower young individuals like me to reach our full potential. Your investment in education and healthcare will create a brighter future for our community.
