Fostering high self-esteem and encouraging interaction among students contribute significantly to improved academic performance. Our commitment extends beyond academics; we are dedicated to implementing the Presidential directive advocating for schools to adopt green initiatives. In this regard, our partnership with Equity is invaluable. We are collaborating with Equity to maintain a clean environment, implement clean cooking in Baricho, and actively participating in climate change mitigation measures.
