Grateful for the rains and food too
The iron roofs are drumming again. Mornings and evenings in Kibera turn cold under low clouds; paths shine with mud, and children still arrive at ETCO with damp hems and bright eyes. We are grateful we could meet — circles on plastic chairs, a ball that skids faster on wet ground, voices rising until they beat the rain.
Playing and learning together still matters when the weather pushes hard. In those hours we are not only passing time; we are practising how to listen, how to take a turn, how to laugh without winning every game. Confidence grows in small moments that repeat until they feel ordinary — a shy child speaking up, two friends settling an argument without a punch.
Rain or shine, we keep showing up for the young people who count on this rhythm. Walk with us — volunteer an afternoon, or help keep the space stocked — so the next wet morning still finds a door open.
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.
