The school board of management is responsible for the day-to-day running of the school. The Head Teacher, Daniel Otieno, has also obtained a diploma from, the African Institute of Sathya Sai Education in Ndola, Zambia.

Daniel recently successfully completed his first semester of classes for the Master's degree program in School Administration. After completing two more semesters and a research thesis, Daniel plans to apply the knowledge gained for the benefit of the school, the children, and staff at the Uthiru school.

The school has nine qualified teachers with experience in value-based education. It is a requirement that all teachers attend Human values training at the African Institute of Sathya Sai Education (TAISSE), Nairobi Campus.

Most teachers voluntarily spend a generous amount of their personal salary buying clothing and other items for their pupils. The teaching staff also regularly participates in service to the larger community. As participants in SAINET, foodstuffs and mosquito treated nets were distributed to several villages near the coastal town of Malindi and three teachers accompanied the head teacher to a similar service project in Bondo.

In the fall of 2005, the Uthiru staff also helped to lead a two-day human values workshop for 33 teachers in a private school in the coastal town of Mombassa

Subject to the availability of funds, it is proposed to construct two small apartments for the Head Teacher and the Deputy and also an arts/computer classroom.

Teacher sponsorship is also possible at US$ 2400 per year. By sponsoring a teacher to teach at the School, a large number of children are directly sponsored.

Opportunities to for teachers to further their education also provide immediate benefits to the school and its children.
