Children's Garden Center, Kawangware


CGC-Kawangware is located along Naivasha road and 20 km east of Nairobi city. It is next to a garbage dump site.

It is located on three pieces of land. (i) a 1-acre land for the school (ii) an apartment area (iii) a newly purchased ½ acre land (late 2008).

The 1-acre land has a primary school (a classroom building and an office building), a community building with a multipurpose hall, and a food storage room with an annex kitchen for cooking and a temporary structure serving as a dormitory for boys from 10 years old.

The apartment area has a 3 storey building with 9 apartments and houses all the girls and boys who are below 10 years old. On its compound, there is a rabbit house and a cow shed.

There is a plan to build a youth hostel for the older boys on the ½ acre land and to move the rabbit house and cow shed there.
