Week 22 - Feeding Program
Week 22 of 2023: Saturday meant home for children not in boarding, rest for adults catching breath between gigs. ETCO opened the gate for the weekly meal — one sitting that stitches the week together.
Bowls, banter, someone’s phone playing gospel too loud on purpose. This is how we stay neighbours — not through projects alone, but through repeated presence.
Meanwhile the ETCO Theatre team rolled street theatre into the office yard — the first performance focused on gender-based violence and domestic violence, stories told loud enough for people passing the lane to stop and listen. Art is not decoration here; it is a warning and a mirror.
We still need mentors, partners, and sponsors who can stay past a single headline. If you have theatre skills, legal aid links, or funds for the feeding line, start at etco-kenya.org — we will match you to what is urgent this week, not last year’s brochure.
Ngong River Regeneration Network - Zone (1-6)
The Ngong River Regeneration Network Zone Coordinators (Zones 1–6) held a productive meeting with the Commissioners representing the Ngong River, chaired by Commissioner Benjamin Langwen, alongside Commissioners John Kioli and Dr. Loice Jepkemboi Kipkiror, together with Inspector Ashford - NRC Secretariat. The meeting was highly engaging and inspiring, leaving us even more energized and committed to advancing the river restoration agenda. Together, we reaffirmed our shared commitment to not only regenerating our rivers, but also promoting a cleaner environment, encouraging food production through downstream farming, and creating sustainable job opportunities through riverine activities. #NgongRiverRestoration #NairobiRivers #EnvironmentalConservation #RiverRegeneration #ClimateAction #CommunityEmpowerment #GreenJobs
World Menstrual Hygiene Day Celebration
In celebration of Menstrual Hygiene Day, ETCO, in partnership with Rotary Club of Nairobi Connect and with support from the Safaricom Foundation, today donated 900 sanitary towels to girls at Joash Olum Primary School. This initiative was aimed at supporting the girl child by promoting menstrual dignity, boosting confidence, and helping keep girls in school so they can stay focused on their education and future careers.
