Day of an African Child (DAC)
The Day of the African Child is marked across the continent with speeches, ribbons, and promises — but in Kibera, it also tastes like something. On this day, partners rolled in alongside ETCO: Aboro, CBC Kenya, Narec, Janris Foundation, SIRMAX, KCERT, Zuri Initiative, Mirror of Hope CBO — different logos, one shared stubborn belief that children should be more than a theme.
Agenda 2040 was unpacked in plain language — rights, safety, education — not as a document for shelves, but as a conversation young people could actually use on Monday morning.
We served food to more than 800 people — plates passed hand to hand until the steam blurred the edges of the afternoon. Primary schools brought classes to share the meal, laughter mixing with the serious business of eating while you still can.
Trees, trophies, and textbooks
Seedlings went into soil — small green bets on a cooler future. Winners walked away with learning materials — pencils, books, the small things that tell a child school is still possible. On the pitch, Chemichemi lifted the 2021 championship over KISUG Runners Up; the dust rose, the crowd roared, and for a moment the day felt like childhood should: loud, sweaty, unfair only in the way games are.
Hashtags fade; full stomachs and planted trees stay in the body and the ground. If you want the next African Child Day to be bigger — more meals, more seedlings, more prizes — partner with us early, not only when the calendar reminds you.
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.
