Established by the Maasai Association and located in the Kajiado region of Kenya, Merrueshi Primary School is the first and only educational institution in the country run exclusively by the Maasai people. The school serves approximately 350 to 500 students, including a significant majority of girls, and features a unique integrated curriculum that blends standard Kenyan subjects—like English, Swahili, and Mathematics—with traditional Maasai oral literature and values. As a model for community-driven education, it provides both day and boarding facilities, supporting nearly 30% of its students through on-site dormitories to ensure those from remote villages can attend consistently.
