Kijabe Primary School, Kijabe, Kenya


Our local partner, Kijabe Primary is located in central Kenya. It is a little over an hour away from Nairobi. The school has over 400 students (grade 1 to 8) who come from very needy families but we will be working with the 5th and 6th grades. The students will be present for the first 7 weeks but will go on holiday after that. We would use that time to prepare the teachers to take over primary responsibilities of the project after our departure.
