ETCO Cyber Furnishing + Children Feeding Program
Saturday smelled like rice and beans — steam lifting from big pots, children’s voices stacking on top of each other outside the kitchen — while indoors, another kind of work was happening. Shelves went up. Cables were tucked neatly. A cyber space was taking shape, piece by piece.
ETCO believes talent should meet opportunity, not luck. Job creation, small business ideas, and care for the environment sit high on the list — not as buzzwords, but as weekly choices about where time and money go.
Outside, a child balanced a plate with both hands, sauce threatening the rim; inside, someone measured a desk and smiled because the next email sent from this room might be a job application written without begging for favours.
Feeding children, wiring a future
The cyber furnishing is donor-backed, and the plan is clear: when doors open fully, hire qualified people from the community to run it. That is how a room of computers becomes a pathway — CVs typed without travelling across town, forms filled without paying someone unkind at an internet café.
Meanwhile, the feeding numbers keep growing. For now, Saturdays mean rice and beans — honest food, served hot. We are honest too: a rotating menu needs a steady sponsor. Until that comes, we give what we have, and the children eat like it is a feast.
If you want to fund a month of githeri days, ugali days, or fruit on the side, reach out — your M-PESA can turn into plates that do not lie about what community care looks like.
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.
