Description: "Mahiga School". Group portrait of students and their teacher, standing outside of a thatched roof school. Mahiga was one of the outposts of the Tumutumu mission station which was established in 1909 by Rev. Henry Scott and Dr. John Arthur and is situated in the Central Highlands of Kenya, 130km north of Nairobi. The mission was set up as a clinic but soon expanded to include a school and church serving the Kikuyu population indigenous to the region.
