The Ngong Huruma Primary School, just adjacent to the home, started in 1993. The school has 10 classrooms, and gives education through to Standard 8. Huruma Primary School provides (as of June 2003) education for 151 boys and girls between the ages of 2 and 17. 15 teachers from the surrounding community are employed by the school.

The school is approved by the Kenyan Ministry of Education and is based on the 8-4-4 system of education. The Ministry of Education has already conducted an inspection survey of the school. The home has also obtained a school registration and authorization letter to build a permanent school. We are currently building the new school. The school is registered by the Government of Kenya and is run by Huruma Trust Fund which is a charitable NGO (Non-Governmental Organisation) in Kenya.
