ETCO Computer Centre Set Up
Cable ties, extension cords, and the faint plastic smell of new keyboards — the ETCO Computer Centre in Highrise is almost ready for the young people who have watched the door stay closed for too long. Desks line up where boxes once sat; monitors blink awake when someone tests the power. This is not a corporate office dropped into Kibera; it is a community room built for fingerprints on screens and questions asked twice until the answer sticks.
We will run free computer lessons for a defined number of children — chosen by age, class, and grade — for one full school term (three months). Spots will be limited on purpose: small classes mean nobody hides at the back pretending to understand.
Parents, watch our notices for enrolment details. Partners who can donate peripherals, data, or volunteer tutors — get in touch before the first cohort fills. The centre only works if the community treats it as a shared resource, not a private club.
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.
