Paula Meyer left a successful career at Ameriprise Financial in 2006 and has since used her business, finance, and management acumen to build Friends of Ngong Road, a non-profit organization whose mission is to fund education and provide support for children who have lost one or both parents to HIV/AIDS living in the impoverished urban communities of Nairobi, Kenya. As President of Friends of Ngong Road, Paula leads a talented team of senior executive volunteers from a variety of business backgrounds. Under her leadership Friends of Ngong Road has grown from an idea to a vibrant organization delivering improved health and education for over 350 children in Nairobi. Friends of Ngong Road (FoNR), a Minnesota-based 501(c)(3), and Ngong Road Children Association (NRCA), a registered Kenya NGO, operate with the shared mission of providing education and support for impoverished Nairobi children whose families have been affected by HIV/AIDS. By taking an innovative approach to organization and service delivery and recruiting a cadre of highly engaged, talented volunteers, FoNR has demonstrated that its model can help transform the lives of one of the most at-risk populations in the world.
