NGO Support Helps Blessing Build a Better Future

Her name is Blessing, and true to her name, she brings hope wherever she goes. She joined our program with one goal, to improve her family’s situation and build a better future. Thanks to our NGO support, Blessing gained access to quality education. After finishing primary school, she moved on to high school. She is now on a path from poverty to a brighter future.

Blessing dreams of becoming an accountant. She works hard in school and does well consistently. Because of her dedication and positive attitude, her school recognised her and made her a class prefect, a leadership role. At our NGO, we are proud to support her journey. Through life skills training, education programs, and personal mentorship, she is becoming a confident young leader ready to shape her future.

As we continue to support her, Blessing shows us that real change happens when young people are empowered through education.

Dan’s Visit to Nairobi

Traveling to Kenya for the first time is an experience that is hard to capture in words. As Paula often says, “we have to get you to Kenya,” and now I fully understand why. The week was remarkable in every way—equal parts energizing, humbling, and inspiring. I return to the U.S. with deep gratitude for what our community of Friends of Ngong Road has built and for the extraordinary team at the Ngong Road Children’s Foundation (NRCF), whose professionalism, energy, and commitment to our mission left me so confident in our future.

One of the highlights was attending Saturday Program, where nearly 150 kids gathered for “crazy games.” I joined a relay race involving balloons and, despite being the self-proclaimed “slow American,” my team pulled off the win. These moments of laughter and connection reminded me that our mission is not only about education and opportunity but also about joy, resilience, and community.

In every classroom I visited, every story I heard, and every handshake I received, I saw the tangible impact of your support. This video captures just a fraction of that journey, but I hope it conveys the same sense of awe, gratitude, and possibility that I carried home.

Here is an inspiring story of Beres, a rising hockey star and high school student reaching his greatest potential through consistent education and personal support from the Ngong Road Children’s Foundation (NRCF).

Hockey star

Beres comes from a family with limited resources. He faced many challenges that could have held him back. But thanks to NRCF, he got the support he needed. They helped with school fees, offered guidance, and gave him space to grow his hockey skills. With this support, Beres began to shine.



He has always performed well in his studies. Recently, he made headlines in sports when he played like a pro during a hockey competition. Thanks to his skill and determination, his team qualified to represent their school at the national championships in Mombasa County.

This achievement brings Beres one step closer to his dream of becoming a professional hockey coach.Beres’s journey shows what is possible when talent meets opportunity. As he pursues his dream, we are reminded that with the right support, every child can rise. We are very proud of Beres and will continue cheering our rising hockey star on every step of the way.

Child Sponsorship in Kenya

Giving Tuesday: Support a Child Today.

Child sponsorship in Kenya is not just a donation, it’s a personal connection that can shift the course of a child’s life. In the informal settlements of Nairobi, sponsorship means much more than access to school supplies or daily meals. In fact, it often gives a child a voice, a mentor, and a renewed sense of hope. After all, behind every sponsorship is a real story, filled with resilience and quiet impact of someone choosing to care.

One of the most effective ways to create lasting change is to donate to Kenyan education initiatives that reach children in underserved areas. These donations do not only cover school fees but also provide uniforms and daily meals that keep children in school. As a result, students who might have dropped out in primary school advance their education even up to college. When you donate, you’re not just funding education you’re investing in futures. This causes a ripple effect to the community and the nation.

Understanding Child Sponsorship in Kenya

Giving Tuesday is a global movement that encourages people to give back to their communities and support meaningful causes. Instead of shopping, people are invited to donate, volunteer, or simply show kindness. Whether it’s funding education in Kenya or supporting a local shelter, Giving Tuesday is all about using generosity to spark real change. We invite you this year, to be part of the life-changing participation.
