Chairman’s Letter
A Year of Progress, Hope, and Partnership
Dear Friends, Partners, & Supporters,
It is my honor to share with you another year of progress, hope, and partnership through the Ndifo Community Development Foundation.
When I first came upon Likamba Primary School, I saw children who were eager to learn, but who were trying to do so in conditions no child should have to face. What moved me most was not only what was missing, but what was already there: determination, dignity, and the bright spirit of children who believed education could transform their lives.
Because of you, this past year has brought real and visible change. Together, we continued improving Likamba Primary School into a safer, healthier, and more hopeful place for learning.
How Change Happens
Theory of Change
If NCDF addresses basic barriers to learning — unsafe classrooms, hunger, lack of water and sanitation, lack of teachers, and no electricity — through community-led infrastructure projects, then children will attend school more regularly, learn in safer conditions, and experience better health, building resilient, self-reliant communities.
Logic Model
1
Inputs
Nonprofit status; board/ED oversight; staff & volunteers; teachers; books; donor gifts and safari profit-sharing; school & community partnerships.
2
Activities
Renovating classrooms, kitchen & toilets; expanding water access; solar/internet; daily meals; adding & training teachers.
3
Outputs
Classrooms rebuilt, new kitchen and toilets, and daily meals for 650+ children.
4
Outcomes
Safer learning spaces; stronger attendance & concentration; improved hygiene — especially for girls and the poorest families; improved test scores.
5
Impact
Reduced extreme poverty, educational mobility, and a resilient, self-reliant community.
Meeting basic needs creates the conditions in which education, health, dignity, and community resilience can grow.
