Food and Non-Food Donations
We receive and give out donations to the most vulnerable members of the informal settlement communities.
In 2020, we served over 6,000 people with the foods and non-food items we received as away of cushioning them against the hard economic times presented by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many people were laid off work hence lacking opportunities to work and earn a living as most of the informal settlements community dwellers do hand to mouth jobs (they spend nearly all they work for in a day and can barely save) and most of them have young families with an average size of 3 people per family.
We properly do our community survey of the most vulnerable people through the help of our Community Health Volunteers (CHVs), who do a door to door
We are always grateful to our donors and supporters for every donation channeled our way. Your support really goes a long way!!!!
We always have a session with the community members just before the donations are given out to pass a message; either to teach, learn/discuss or to sensitize them.

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.
