Athi-River GK Prisons Primary School is a public, mixed-gender day school located in Kitengela, within the Kajiado East Constituency. Managed by the central government through the Department of Education (DEB), the school provides primary education to a large student body, with current population estimates reaching over 2,000 learners. While it serves a vital role in the local community, the institution has historically faced infrastructure challenges, including high pupil-to-classroom ratios and a severe sanitation crisis. Recent interventions, such as the ‘Safi Kitengela WASH in Schools’ project launched in August 2025 by the Rotary Club of Kitengela, have begun addressing these issues by replacing dilapidated pit latrines and improving water access.
