An alumni association has launched an initiative to establish a state-of-the-art digital library at the school, aiming to provide high-quality resources and educational opportunities in Laikipia and Nyandarua counties.
The Nyandarua Boarding Primary School Alumni is ambitiously seeking support, to raise over Ksh70 million from its members, current students, and well-wishers to actualize the dream.
According to Jacob Mugeni, the association’s chairperson, the NBPS Digital Library project will align the region with the government’s efforts to enhance digital skills and drive grassroots innovation.
