About – PAAV-Gitombo Community School

Who We Are

PAAV-Gitombo is a non-profit Christian school guided by the motto, “More Than Academics.” Established in 2014 with just three children and one teacher, the school has grown to more than 220 learners and 20 teachers as of 2025, bringing quality Christ-centred education closer to the Gitombo community while creating employment opportunities for local families.

Officially registered in 2022 as PAAV-Gitombo Community Primary and Junior School, we offer Kenya’s Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) across ECDE, Primary and Junior School. Through generous support from donors and well-wishers, we continue to strengthen our facilities and resources as we grow, ensuring our learners receive a holistic education in a safe, supportive and Christ-centred environment.

We believe in raising not just scholars, but godly leaders.
At PAAV, every child carries a story—and every story matters.

Extracurricular Activities

Agriculture 4K Club

Agriculture remains the backbone of Kenya’s economy, and our 4K Club prepares children to embrace it with innovation and sustainability. Learners care for rabbits, cows, and vegetable gardens while being introduced to modern farming practices. This hands-on approach makes agriculture practical.
