End-of-Year and New Year Wishes

End-of-Year and New Year End-of-Year Reflection: As we bid farewell to 2023, we reflect on a year of collective commitment and impactful strides at ETCO. Our gratitude extends to our dedicated team, steadfast partners, and resilient communities. Community Impact: In 2023, our holistic approach to community well-being yielded significant successes. The Feeding Program alleviated food insecurity, fostering a sense of community and support. Simultaneously, our commitment to environmental care resulted in cleaner, greener spaces through tree planting and waste management initiatives. These endeavors complemented the core of our mission – the establishment of the ETCO Computer Centre, a beacon of educational empowerment bridging the digital divide. Anticipation for 2024: As we look forward to 2024, our unwavering resolve to reduce crime, foster education, and catalyze positive change propels us into a new year filled with promise and fresh opportunities. Together, let's continue shaping a future where empowerment knows no bounds. New Year Aspirations: May the coming year be adorned with moments of growth, resilience, and unbridled joy. May our joint endeavors kindle transformations that resonate far beyond our immediate reach. Here's to new beginnings, shared triumphs, and a profound impact on the lives we touch. In the spirit of unity and collaboration, ETCO wishes you a festive holiday season and a New Year adorned with prosperity, good health, and limitless opportunities. Happy New Year! Warm regards, ETCO-EMPOWER THE COMMUNITY

New ETCO Office Furnishing in Kibera (Nyayo Highrise)

Site Inspection for Tree Nursery at Nairobi Dam Park
Yesterday, ETCO, the Lang’ata Local Water Forum (LLWF), and the Highrise Youth Generation Group hosted Mr. James, a Kenya Forest Service Officer for Lang’ata Constituency (accompanied by Mr. Ken, KFS Officer Kamukunji), for a site visit to inspect our tree nursery. The initiative will begin with site preparation, training the Climate Worx team (cohorts), and the planting of at least 10,000 seedlings to support the long-term maintenance of Nairobi Dam Park.

Happy New Year 2026
As we gear up for a year filled with river-related activities, we wish you a prosperous and highly successful year in all your endeavours. We are confident that even more initiatives lie ahead for the Ngong River Regeneration in 2026. Let us continue sensitising our community members and ready ourselves to contribute—through partnerships, clean-up activities, and all other efforts—towards restoring and revitalising our rivers.
