Golden Manger, an annual day of hope and connection

A vision brought to life by Nelly Njogu.

In 2020, Nelly brought Golden Manger to life and gathered a team of passionate people to carry the vision forward. What began as one person’s idea has become an annual event shaped by many hands.

At its heart is a simple belief: children should feel seen, cared for, and excited about what lies ahead.
