Feed A Kid
Children Empowerment Program is one of the major activities we do every Saturday to no only keep the children engaged most of their weekend but also teach them life skills, identify various talents, listen to them as we discuss their challenges and most importantly cook for them.
We have at least 200 children (9 - 19 years) every Saturday and we endeavor to invite different facilitators to talk to them. We also understand how important the food is to these children because we realized that some of them only eat one meal a day (some times, its the only meal they have that they are sure of apart from eating in school of which as at now, most of public schools in Nairobi County have no food allocation budget).
Gathering them and engaging in various activities helps them from getting involved in many vises such as peer pressure, early pregnancies, substance abuse and crime, especially when schools were closed indefinitely.
Starting with Kibera, we expect to do such activity programs in many other informal settlement communities.
Site Inspection for Tree Nursery at Nairobi Dam Park
Yesterday, ETCO, the Lang’ata Local Water Forum (LLWF), and the Highrise Youth Generation Group hosted Mr. James, a Kenya Forest Service Officer for Lang’ata Constituency (accompanied by Mr. Ken, KFS Officer Kamukunji), for a site visit to inspect our tree nursery. The initiative will begin with site preparation, training the Climate Worx team (cohorts), and the planting of at least 10,000 seedlings to support the long-term maintenance of Nairobi Dam Park.
Happy New Year 2026
As we gear up for a year filled with river-related activities, we wish you a prosperous and highly successful year in all your endeavours. We are confident that even more initiatives lie ahead for the Ngong River Regeneration in 2026. Let us continue sensitising our community members and ready ourselves to contribute—through partnerships, clean-up activities, and all other efforts—towards restoring and revitalising our rivers.
Merry Christmas
Happy Holidays to you all. To those who have been a blessing to the communities we serve though our programs, we are forever grateful and we pray for abundance to you always. www.etco-kenya.org
