Muthurwa Primary School

Opened in 1972, Muthurwa Primary sits off Landhies Road in the busy trading belt between Muthurwa market and the Gikomba jua kali workshops. It is a public mixed day school and now calls itself Muthurwa Primary and Junior Secondary, since the junior school grades were added under CBC. For a city school with little space it puts real effort into the environment: the 4-K Club keeps a greenhouse, rabbits, ducks and spinach grown in sacks, and pupils take part in tree planting and river clean-ups. A borehole backs up the water supply, and there is a library and a playground used for football, volleyball and athletics. Equity Bank and Strathmore University are among the partners the school thanks for support.
