Nyandarua Boarding Primary School Alumni have launched a campaign to construct a Multi-Purpose Modern Digital Library in the school as a way to transform the learning model at the school. This initiative represents a significant step forward in advancing education in rural areas, ensuring that children in Laikipia and Nyandarua counties have access to top-quality resources and opportunities. The Alumni, which has been steering the project, is now appealing to stakeholders to join hands and make the dream a reality.

He stated, “I’m immensely proud to witness the growth of the Alumni Community over the past 13 years, which has birthed a visionary project offering unlimited opportunities for thousands of children and the host community.

The NBPS Digital Library is designed to be a cornerstone of education and empowerment, serving over 1,000 pupils currently enrolled at the school and the broader Nyahururu community. With a projected cost of Ksh 70 million (approximately 700,000 USD), this ambitious project signifies a commitment to providing the best possible educational tools and resources to students and the community, ensuring they are well-equipped to thrive in the digital era.

His sentiments were echoed by Miss Magdalene Wanjugu the project lead, who added that the NBPS Digital Library has employed a modern technology system of learning which in turn will empower the learners to compete and thrive in a globalized world as per the government’s agenda of the digital superhighway.
The learners on their side could not hide their joy noting a significant change in the learning experience, as they will be getting revision materials digitally thereby going paperless.
