A village in Murang'a County remains an island as it lacks good roads, a nursery school, electricity and piped water, with the residents appealing for support.

The absence of an ECDE centre in Kahwai village, in Mathioya, forces the young parents to trek more than five kilometres to the nearby Gitugi Primary School to escort their children with more challenges during the rainy seasons.
