16 Days of Activism against GBV Launch
A walk in Kibera is never only a walk. When ETCO joined the Kibera Gender Advocacy Network for the launch of 16 Days of Activism against gender-based violence, feet on the road meant something simple and heavy: we see you, we refuse to call harm normal.
The route ended at Guadalupe Catholic Church in Adams — shirts printed with this year’s theme, Let’s Come Together and Act Now, darkening with sweat, placards held high enough for boda-boda riders to read at the junction.
Violence in homes and streets still steals sleep and school days, especially from women and children. Speaking about it in daylight does not end it overnight — but silence does not end it either.
What we do next
Through community forums and KGAN partners, ETCO keeps naming violence where it hides — in jokes, in unpaid labour, in the fear of walking home late. If you need referral or a listening ear, ask for our community desk; if you can volunteer as a safe escort on event days, we will train you.
Happy Father's Day
As a man. It's Okay to start all over again. Let someone love you correctly, genuinely, value you and respectfully if they have to. Somewhere in your 30s, 40s or 50s, you'll get the opportunity to rebuild your life after a negative loop. It's important you see that journey through. Keep going and don't ever give up. Strong.
Day of an African Child 2026
The Day of the African Child was successfully celebrated, bringing together stakeholders from Kibra and Lang’ata Constituencies in a remarkable display of unity, collaboration, and shared commitment to the well-being of children. The event highlighted the strength and impact of collective action through the partnership and dedication of member groups of the Kibera Gender Advocacy Network (KGAN), local and international organizations, government ministries, and local administration. Their combined efforts demonstrated the importance of multi-stakeholder engagement in advancing children's rights and welfare. A notable highlight of the celebration was the participation of the Kenyan Judiciary. The event was honored by the presence of the Chief Magistrate of Kibera Law Courts, Hon. Anne Mwangi, together with her team of magistrates led by Hon. Christine Njagi. They dedicated time to engage with participants, grace the occasion, and lead by example by not only planting trees but also in promoting the protection and empowerment of children.
