Kinyago Dandora Secondary School (KDSS) is a Christian charity school on a campus at Baraka in Mowlem. It is funded by Kenya Children's Fund, a US non-profit that also runs Kinyago Dandora Primary, and it mostly admits needy pupils coming up from that primary so that their sponsorship, meals and pastoral care continue. Land was bought in 2004 and the first class arrived in 2006; today there are close to 250 students from Grade 9 to Grade 12 and more than 800 alumni. Students get two meals a day, two science laboratories and a full sports programme; the handball team won the Njiru sub-county title in 2018 and 2023. Occasional vacancies are filled after a written test, interview and home visit.
