There is 1 primary school located at Kitenga Primary and it’s over 10miles from lwabikere, the main trading center and it is a universal primary school with over 3000 pupil. The few children who can manage to get to school have to walk over 10 miles and through thick bushes which puts them at risk of being kidnapped for ritual sacrifice by witch doctors and for the girls of being r***d.
