It’s a big win for the Muslim community in Narok after the county government allocated Sh15.8 million to construct a public Muslim girls’ school in the county.
The public day school will be the first of its kind in the county and Muslim community has an opportunity where girls will be instilled with Islamic teachings, beliefs and traditions as they learn.
Speaking during the commissioning of the construction of the classrooms, the Narok Islamic Welfare Society Chairman Mahmud Hassan Yunis said the school will accommodate all learners regardless of their religious background.
The construction entails the building of six classrooms, an administration block and an ablution block, and is expected to be completed within six months.
“The school is being commissioned in our holy month of Ramadan, I believe it is a blessed school and we invite all students from all backgrounds to join the school,” he said.
Narok County Muslim Welfare Society Secretary Musa Mohamed Dahir said the school is a big blessing to the girls who have been moving to Nairobi to seek Islamic school for girls.
The contractor building the school, Mohamed Ali, committed to hire locals to do the construction job saying hundreds of young people from the locality will be engaged.
The land on which the school is being put up was donated by former Narok North Member of Parliament, the late William Ole Ntimama twenty years ago.
