Riamukurwe Primary School is located in Muruguru, Nyeri County, Kenya. The school has 602 students (287 girls and 315 boys). The children live in two nearby villages, Micha and Witemere, where their parents work as day-laborers on large farms, such as the Wambugu apple farm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In May of 2025, TGUP did a Save a Girl<\/em> <\/strong>\u2122 kit distribution for the girls. And earlier in 2026, TGUP a Science Lab in a Box<\/em> <\/strong>\u2122 was installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new garden will measure 195\u2019 x 81\u2019 and will grow vegetables (onions, maize, kale, carrots, potatoes, and cabbages). Any surplus produce will be sold to supplement the sparse kitchen budget. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The garden will include barbed wire fencing installed along two sides on wood posts, drip irrigation, and a 10,000-liter water tank that will be raised 5 feet to provide gravity flow. The 3rd and 4th sides of the garden are protected by adjacent buildings and do not need fencing. Water will be supplied from the city pipes, 150 meters away, so trenched pipes will be installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
