Community Vaccination
By mid-morning at Undugu Grounds, the sun is already leaning hard on the corrugated roofs nearby, and the line moves in that patient Nairobi way — shuffling forward, someone checking the time on a cracked phone screen, a child balanced on a hip.
Kibera’s closeness is not a slogan. Neighbours share alleys, water points, and the same small shops — which is why illness can move fast here. It is also why, on a single day, you can reach hundreds of people with accurate information, a kind word, and a vaccine in the arm.
Saturday, 18 September 2021 — 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
ETCO invited the community to a vaccination drive aiming for at least 1,000 people, with the largest share coming from Kibera. If you had not yet been vaccinated, this was the day to come. If you already had, you could still show up — to encourage someone who was nervous, to keep a neighbour company, or simply to greet people you had not seen since the hardest months of the pandemic.
No one pretends a single event ends a global crisis. But each protected person is one fewer link in a chain — one more shop that can stay open, one more classroom that feels a little safer, one more grandmother who sleeps easier.
If you missed that Saturday, keep asking at your local facility what is available now. And when the next community day is announced, bring a friend — the queue is lighter when you do not stand in it alone.

Efforts: Inputs - Waste Management Project Strategy
Soon, just very soon. It will all make sense. Efforts, sleepless nights.... Stress, strategies, failures and minor successes... One day, I'll look back and say, Yes, I created a *System* Generation System... Me and the people I serve will be grateful... I'll be happy to have served my purpose in this world. 😊😊
