Let's create a brighter future through kids
Two weekends into the school holiday, our yard filled early — chalk dust on hands, a ball bouncing off a wall, someone humming a song they learned in church.
We ran simple lessons, played games that tired them out in the best way, then gathered for a meal while the sun slid toward the corrugated roofs. A child who is fed and heard stands a little taller; we see it in how they ask questions.
We keep saying it because it is true: skills change trajectories. We need mentors who can teach budgeting, public speaking, basic first aid, how to read a contract — the small literacies that turn a clever child into a prepared young adult.
Walk in if you can teach
If you have a Saturday morning and a skill to share, do not overthink the CV. Reach out through etco-kenya.org; we will match you with a session that fits the age group and the room we have that week.
Most welcome
ETCO and Lang'ata Local Water Forum (LLWF) will be hosting other partner organizations in Lang'ata and Kibra Constituencies who'll be participating in the Day of An African Child. We welcome you to be an advocate for the children and impact positively in building a future for them and generations to come. Tell a friend to tell a friend. We'll have a procession from Kibra DC ground to Canaan Estate Community Hall where the event will take place.
Day 1 Unclogging
Day 1. Today, ETCO in collaboration with the Nairobi Rivers Commission, Phase 3 and Canaan Estate Management, commenced efforts to address the long-standing drainage blockage at the Phase 3 Market Stalls. While this intervention provides a short-term solution to the recurring blockage that frequently causes flooding and related challenges in both Phase 3 and Canaan Estate, as well as inconveniences road users accessing Kibera through Nyayo Highrise Ward via Kibera Access Road, we strongly urge the management of both estates to establish a regular maintenance schedule for the culverts to prevent future clogging. With the anticipated El Niño rains, proactive preparedness is essential to minimize the risk of further property damage, flooding, stormwater-related impacts, and potential loss of life. These ongoing efforts form part of our commitment to protecting the environment, improving drainage systems, and ensuring that rivers and waterways flow freely without obstruction.
