Bamburi Cement Group on June 15, 2026 commissioned two newly constructed classrooms and an office-store facility at Kwabulo Secondary School in Nyali Sub-County, Mombasa County, in a partnership with Nyali Member of Parliament Mohammed Ali. The company said the initiative was aimed at addressing infrastructure gaps at the public school, where learners previously studied in temporary tents and, in some cases, sat on the floor due to a shortage of desks and classrooms.

According to the media press release issued in Mombasa, the corporate social responsibility project also included the donation of 80 lockers and chairs, alongside curriculum textbooks. Bamburi Cement said the handover was intended to resolve “severe infrastructure deficits” and improve learning conditions for day scholars at the institution.

The development comes as schools across Kenya continue to grapple with classroom congestion and resource constraints that have been linked, in part, to the government’s 100% transition policy. In Mombasa County and other urban areas, pressure on existing facilities has increased with growing enrolment, creating demand for additional classrooms and learning equipment.

Speaking during the commissioning ceremony, Nyali MP Mohammed Ali said the new facilities would replace temporary learning structures and help stabilise learning at the school.

“We are incredibly grateful for the massive support and corporate partnership from Bamburi Cement toward our local education initiatives. These new classrooms replace temporary tents with permanent dignity,” Mohammed Ali said. He added: “Looking ahead, the Nyali National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) plans to anchor this progress by establishing a fully equipped ICT Lab in the upcoming financial year.”

Bamburi Cement said the project aligns with its corporate pillar of supporting local development in host communities, including providing building materials and structural support. The company did not disclose the value of the project or quantify the cost of the construction and donated items.

While the initiative is framed as a community programme, it also highlights how private-sector participation is increasingly being used to complement public funding for education infrastructure in Kenya. For manufacturers and construction-linked firms, school building projects can also contribute to sustained demand for building materials at the county level, particularly where enrolment growth continues to outpace facility expansion.

In the statement, Bamburi Cement said the new classrooms and facilities are expected to improve attendance and reduce disruptions during harsh weather, which the school previously faced due to temporary structures. The company also said the upgrades are intended to support improved performance outcomes over time, though it did not provide baseline performance data.

Looking ahead, the next milestone for the school will be the proposed ICT lab through the Nyali NG-CDF, as outlined by the area MP. The extent of additional infrastructure needs at Kwabulo Secondary School was not detailed in the press release, but the project underscores the continuing role of constituency-level funding and corporate support in addressing basic school infrastructure deficits in Kenya.
