Mukarara Primary School is a public, mixed-gender day school located in the Waithaka area of Dagoretti South, Nairobi. In 2025, the school continues to serve as a critical educational hub, having undergone a major transformation from previously dilapidated conditions through significant infrastructure investments by the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) and other partners. A central feature of the campus is the Dagoretti South NG-CDF Central Kitchen, which serves as the primary production site for a large-scale school feeding program providing daily nutritious lunches to over 22,000 learners across public schools in the constituency. Beyond basic academics, the institution emphasizes a “wholesome learner” approach, actively participating in regional music festivals and ball games.
