Kanaani Secondary School
Location: Athi River Township, Athi River District, Machakos County
Amara started construction of the school in 2013, because the secondary students were being hosted by the primary school, whose student population was also on the rise. Due to this the students were cramped into classrooms that were not conducive to learning.
Student population has grown from 60 in 2013 to 553 at present.
