Community Vaccination Day 1
Day one at Undugu Grounds, and the mood is mixed — some people still hesitate, worn down by whispers about side effects; others step forward because they have seen what COVID did to work, worship, and wages. Both truths can sit in one queue; our job is clear information, shade where we can find it, and a steady hand at the station.
A good number of vaccinated people could reopen what poverty closed — sports, events, the small engines that help families breathe easier. Among those who came to encourage the effort were Lang’ata political aspirants from the United Democratic Alliance: Hon. Milton (Nairobi Senator), Hon. Kennedy Juma (MCA Nyayo Highrise), Hon. Najo Khan (MCA South C), and Hon. Davidson Ngibuini “DNG” (MCA Woodley). Politics aside, showing up matters when communities are afraid.
We also want to thank Kenton Price — an amazing part of ETCO over the past year — for helping fundraise activities that keep children fed and programmes running. If you can share accurate vaccine information in your chama or church group, do — truth is part of care.
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.

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. 😊😊
