Irigithathi is one of only three schools in Kenya that educates Special Needs and mainstream students in the same setting. It is also one of the highest performing schools in the country.
TGUP has undertaken a major expansion of the school, including building a new classroom, a kitchen/dining hall, and dormitories for both boys and girls. This gallery shows the girls’ dormitory coming into being.

Thank you to the Special Need Children Center Foundation of Fremont, CA, members of the Kiwanis Club of Campbell, CA, and the dozens of other donors who made this project possible. The children of Kenya will be MUCH better off as a result.
