Since then, Diocese of Ngong has been collaborating with the government not only in implementing education policies, but also in searching for new approaches in education in Kenya.

Missionaries constructed first schools in Maasai land in early 60s and they started creating awareness of importance of education. The Diocese also focused on girl child education, which was a new phenomenal in the community and three girls boarding school were constructed i.e. Rombo girls in Loitokitok, St. Mary's in Narok and St. Joseph in Kilgoris. At the moment, the Diocese is sponsoring 190 primary school and 20 secondary schools while managing 19 primary schools and 7 Secondary schools.
