The Story

Multifaceted. Purposeful. Impactful.

Nelly Naitengel is a woman whose life embodies the conviction that one person, rooted in purpose, can transform an entire community. Born and raised in Samburu County, Kenya, Nelly drew inspiration from her cultural heritage and deep faith to chart a path of service and excellence.

As a trained Medical Social Worker, she applies psychosocial expertise to support vulnerable individuals and families navigating health, addiction, and social crisis. She bridges the gap between clinical care and community need with compassion and professional rigour.

Parallel to her professional journey runs a powerful music ministry. Nelly is a renowned Gospel Artist whose 4 albums and 25 songs have resonated with audiences across Kenya. Her hit "Mbingu Mpya" won the Collabo Song of the Year at a national awards ceremony. She has performed and ministered at major national events, from packed churches to open-air crusades.

As a businesswoman, she founded Lakira House of Design, a creative enterprise that provides economic empowerment and skills to youth in Samburu. Her community-based organisation, Wells of Re_Birth, is dedicated to restoring the boy-child โ€” guiding young men from addiction and brokenness into dignity, purpose, and responsible manhood.
