Welcome to Ngeya Primary School

Ngeya Primary School was started in 1989 with only 184 pupils. In recent years, the population has greatly increased due to the introduction of Free Primary Education in 2003, internal displacement after the elections of 2002 and 2007, and population growth in Maai Mahiu town.

Currently the population stands at 1700 students with 300 desks, 18 classrooms (most unfinished), and 12 teachers. The school has a lunch feeding program provided by Kenya Kids Can. The classrooms have no electricity, and currently there are no computers at the school. This blog is updated from Kenya by Ngeya Primary students working on two donated laptops which are brough into the school twice per week by CTC Rafiki Link educators.

On this blog you will find posts from Ngeya Primary school and partners from around the world. Read and enjoy!

Thanksgiving


Happy Thanksgiving from America!
Here in the United States we just finished celebrating Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is a celebration where families get together and celebrate the many reasons we have to be thankful. We eat a large feast consisting of roast turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, pumpkin pie, cranberries, apple pie, and much more. It is delicious! Do you have any special day where you celebrate with your families?
