A state-of-the-art digital library for our school and the communities of Laikipia and Nyandarua counties.
On 23rd March 2024, the NBPS Alumni Association launched an initiative to build a state-of-the-art digital library at Nyandarua Boarding Primary School. The library will give students high-quality resources and new learning opportunities, and will be open to the wider community in Laikipia and Nyandarua counties.
The association is seeking support to raise over Ksh 70 million from its members, current students and well-wishers to turn this vision into reality. Association chairperson Jacob Mugeni says the project will align the region with the government's efforts to improve digital skills and drive grassroots innovation.
The library is designed to provide top-quality educational tools and resources for students and the community, preparing them to succeed in the digital era. The school's headteacher, Mr. Charles Mbugua, has welcomed the project and stressed the importance of making a digital library part of the school's infrastructure. He notes that it will not only give pupils access to knowledge but also equip them with the skills they need in an increasingly digital world.
Project lead Miss Magdalene Wanjugu is committed to making sure every part of the project is carefully carried out and delivered on time. Students at the school are already looking forward to the library and the change it will bring to how they learn.
The association, formed in 2010, has a long record of supporting education at NBPS, including paying school fees for needy but bright pupils. The Digital Library is its most ambitious project yet.
