New Mercy Care School is a Christian community school in Mathare North with a primary section opened in 2007 and a secondary section added in 2010. It is backed by the Mercy Care Centre Foundation, a US charity that raises money to feed and educate children from the Mathare valley, and by local non-governmental partners. Families pay modest fees with a lunch charge, and the school runs drama, music and sport. A 2019 community school survey counted about 180 pupils in the primary classes and about 150 students in the secondary, and the primary site was checked again by mappers in December 2025. The school is mixed and day only, and volunteers have taught there through the foundation.
