About us

St. Mary Goreti-Ngetta Girls Primary School is a day and boarding school dedicated to providing education to all children, including those who are blind, physically disabled, or have other special needs. We believe in the value of inclusion and work to create an environment where every learner can grow academically, socially, and personally.
