Dandora Primary School is a prominent public mixed-day institution in Nairobi’s Embakasi division, specifically located in Dandora Phase One along Koma Rock Road. As of 2025, the school has experienced a significant surge in enrollment, with its student population growing from approximately 2,850 to over 3,330 pupils. This growth is largely attributed to the Dishi na County school feeding program, which provides daily nutritious meals, effectively doubling as a social safety net for children from the surrounding community who previously faced extreme food insecurity. Academically, the school follows the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) and has recently improved its infrastructure, including specialized facilities for students with special needs, such as those with hearing impairments or developmental challenges. Despite facing environmental pressures due to its proximity to the Dandora landfill, the school remains a critical hub for community transformation, supported by local government and partners to provide a stable learning environment for disenfranchised youth.
