A news story.

The Prince of Peace primary school is located in Nakuru town which is the 4th largest urban area in Kenya and is located about 160 kilometres West of the Capital City of Nairobi. This slum school was started in 2017 as a means of reaching out to the poorest children who may never have had the opportunity to get an education.

Benjamin Mbatia is the Founder and Director of Prince of Peace Primary School. He himself grew up in the slums and was privileged to get sponsorship for his education. He is now a University Lecturer and says that his difficult childhood in the slums inspired him to start this pre-school school which is founded on Christian values.

These are children who come from very deplorable backgrounds and so, being at home, they’re exposed to so much danger. In the standard situation that happens in the slum, the insecurity there. You also understand the nature of the homes they live in. There could be child abuse. These children could easily go back to bad behavior.

In 2020 when the COVID-19 Pandemic first hit the country, these children missed out on 9 months of schooling. Fearing for their wellbeing, Benjamin and his staff have been making their way through the slums on a weekly basis to check up on the children and make sure they have something to eat.

The Prince of Peace school was renamed the EDGel Mission to avoid confusion wiith another school of the same name.
