Our Story

A boarding school built for the long haul.

Orero Boys Secondary School was established in 1968 and sits along the Kisii–Homa Bay Road in Rangwe, Homa Bay County. Over the decades it has grown into a high-performing extra-county school, now home to a population of more than 1,800 students drawn from across the region and beyond.

What was built as a single institution on the road between two counties has become a boarding community defined by structure and expectation — boys arrive to be shaped academically, morally and socially, guided by a motto the school has never let go of: Education Empowers.
