Environmental Care - Dirt is Fertilizer
Most of informal settlement areas are normally perceived to be so dirty. ETCO has resoluted to working towards ensuring that the informal settlement communities are kept clean and safe for all the living creatures.
We therefore endeavor to do community clean up services more often in different places.
we've also partnered with several other environmental friendly organizations in trees planting in various schools and street cleaning.
We also advocate for and enlighten our community members of the need to utilize their small spaces for urban farming. Which also acts as a source of food security at a point in time when well taken care of.
Our environmental department has come up with a project plan of helping the government of Kenya and other interested organizations in reclaiming the Nairobi Dam.
The project is not only meant to sustainably stop solid waste from flowing into the dam, but also create a sustainable job opportunity for the community members.
