For half a century, Kiine Girls High School lost learning time not to poor teaching or lack of ambition but to 820 metres of missing road that turned a 1.5-kilometre journey into hours of delay every time it rained.

The school, established in 1973 in Kirinyaga West Sub-county, Kirinyaga County, sits just 1.5 kilometres from the main road.
