Hussein Salim

Founding Director

My experience in public schools showed me how hard it is to access quality education with limited infrastructure while striving to achieve my dreams. In 2021, I founded Ndoto in Action to bring hope and opportunity to underprivileged children, especially those in public schools.

Clarence Tindwa

Driven by my own struggles in public schools and my experience teaching in under-resourced classrooms, I am honored to work with NIA. We create supportive learning environments for rural children, ensuring that educational barriers do not limit their potential. My background fuels this commitment to helping students achieve their dreams.
