Kiahuko Primary School

Gataragwa, Nyeri County, Kenya · Completed 2023

Kiahuko Primary School

When we first learned about Kiahuko Primary School, 487 children from nursery through Standard 8 were sharing just eight classrooms, about 60 students to a room, learning on dirt floors.

Our partner, The Global Uplift Project (TGUP), had already begun transforming the school, bringing in electricity, clean water, and latrines. Boundless joined that work to build a new 28-by-28-foot classroom, giving students more space and a better place to learn.

This project was a true partnership between Boundless Foundation, The Light Freedom Academy by Svetlana Newsome, The Global Uplift Project, and Kiini Sustainable Initiative (KISI), working alongside the Kiahuko community.

Every child deserves a classroom with a solid floor and room to learn. At Kiahuko, that's now possible.

The conditions at the Kiahuko Primary School are one of the most dire situations we have ever seen: 487 students in 8 classrooms (60 per classroom) with only dirt floors. Last year, TGUP brought in electricity, latrines, and water. A new classroom measuring 28' x 28' was built with Boundless Foundation.
