Gathima Primary School is a public, mixed-gender day school located in the Kamburu area of Lari Constituency, Kiambu County, Kenya. Managed by the Central Government through the District Education Board, the school was originally established as a grassroots community initiative to provide local education and eliminate the need for young children to walk long distances—often over six kilometers—to neighboring schools. Over recent years, it has undergone significant transformation with support from the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF), which has funded the construction of modern classrooms featuring terrazzo flooring and secure steel fittings, as well as essential sanitary facilities. As of 2026, the school continues to serve the Gathima and Silanga communities as a beacon of developmental progress and local empowerment.
