Good way to end this Month
Mid-term break turns Kibera’s mornings louder — no school bells, more small feet on the paths, more hands cupped for a meal. On days like this, our feeding line stretches further than usual, and the kitchen works faster, spoons clinking like a hurried song.
We love that pressure — the good kind — because it means children chose us instead of wandering the whole day on an empty stomach.
Someone always asks for an extra spoon for a sibling at home. Someone else jokes that the queue is longer than the matatu line at peak hours — and still waits, because hunger does not negotiate politely.
On this particular day, the pots stretched far enough to welcome elders too — men and women who sometimes eat last in their own homes, who remember hunger as a season that never fully leaves. There is something tender about watching a grandmother get the same careful portion as a child: dignity served in a plastic plate.
Someone asked whether there would be tea; someone else offered to fetch water so the next pot could start sooner. Community is not only meetings under a tent — sometimes it is these small trades of labour and patience while plates move down the line.
We are not naive. One good day does not fix a hard month. But ending a month with enough — children fed, elders remembered — feels like a small promise kept. If you want the next month to start the same way, walk with us when the next shopping list goes up.
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.
