1st ETCO Trip for Kids - Nairobi National Museum
Thirty children boarded the matatu with packed snacks and questions — some had never walked a museum hall before. Exposure is not luxury; it is how curiosity learns its name.
We covered transport and food so no parent had to choose between fares and ugali that evening. Inside, history sat beside biology: bones, beads, birds pinned with labels the children tried to read aloud.
The crocodile glass drew a collective step back — then laughter, then brave faces pressed close. Snakes earned a squeal and a sermon from the oldest boy about what he would do if he met one outside (nobody was convinced).
On the ride home, plans already: the next trip should be bigger. We are looking toward Nairobi National Park — more seats, more permissions, more sponsors. If you want to fund transport for the next outing, write to etco-kenya.org and mark it “field learning.”
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.
