    My parents taught in two Gathiga schools you showed, and I went to Mahiaini nursery. I remember refusing to go back to class I wanted to stay with mum at her school. So she would call 7th grade girls to carry me back to class. Good old days. I narrate that story to my 7th grade students here in the USA, they find it hilarious! Thanks for this content.

    Many years ago I would accompany my fellow boys from Gachie to play football with boys from Gachiga near Kihingo. It was many many years ago but i can vividly reminisce that past with some nostalgia off course. Those blokes from Gathiga were really good players. Tumetoka mbali

    This place used to be very rural 🤦🏿‍♀️ was there and was surprised how the village has changed and grown back in the day it was very gicagi 😂😂😂 and backward infact a guy in Gathiga would hit on you and you reject him very fast due to the backwardness there...am glad finally some civilization reached Gathiga but i know it's due the posh estate in Kitisuru and Kihingo estates and kina International School of Kenya anc that tarmacking of the road too.
