Riruta HGM Primary

Riruta HGM Primary School is a prominent public, mixed-gender day school and special needs educational institute located in the Kawangware ward of Dagoretti North, Nairobi. Affiliated with the local government, the school provides an inclusive learning environment tailored to both regular students and those with special educational needs. A major turning point for the institution has been the implementation of the “Dishi Na County” feeding program, which provides nutritious subsidized meals via a “tap to eat” system. This initiative has driven a significant surge in enrollment—rising from approximately 1,320 to over 1,620 learners as of mid-2024—as parents increasingly transfer children from private to public facilities to benefit from the improved nutrition and cost savings. Beyond its academic and special needs focus, the school actively supports holistic development through facilities like a local basketball court and enhanced security measures, including a perimeter wall to ensure a safe environment for its rapidly growing student body.
