Incorporating the
Nguruma Primary School

and

Margaret Stanton Preschool

On 7th July 2011, in conjunction with Faye Cran (Muma Kuku) and the then new Rotary Club of Tengeru, Keith and Margaret Stanton  built the Margaret Stanton Preschool.

In the previous 6 months 6 young girls had been raped on the way to their previous preschool and the Tengeru Rotary Club felt the building of a preschool in Nguruma village was a good community project for them. They looked for financial help of Rotarians from around the world -  Rotarian Keith Stanton a New Zealand Rotarian offered to help

His wife Margaret Stanton who had recently retired from being a Supervisor at the Lighthouse preschool in Christchurch New Zealand also came on board providing the Rotary club with ideas for the building of a modern preschool.

The preschool was opened with much rejoicing by Margaret and Keith Stanton and the community on the 4th April 2013.

The need for a good primary school in the Nguruma Area became evident so the development of the Keith Stanton English Medium Primary School. The picture on the welcome page shows the completed school that was officially opened on 4th May 2020.  Designed for 290 the school now has 880 children
