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.
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.
