Mambere School: Where Jomo, James Gichuru learnt how to read
Mambere School now Musa Gitau Primary School in 1936.
Mambere School was established in 1901 in Kikuyu, Kiambu County. The journey of the school started when Scottish missionaries arrived in Kikuyu in late 1890s. A jovial Munyua wa Waiyaki, son of the famous Kikuyu leader Waiyaki wa Hinga, offered them 100 acres of the forest in Thogoto highlands. The missionaries built a church and Mambere school for boys and girls. Here they were taught Christianity as well as formal education. Girls would attend classes in the evening after working for whites. Later in 1909, the school put up dormitories for both boys and girls. Classrooms were however shared.
