Happy to be back
The pots had been quiet too long. After a stretch without our feeding programme, the ETCO team felt the gap — not only empty cauldrons, but the missing noise: children chattering, spoons scraping metal plates, the small rush when someone asks for seconds and the cook pretends to think about it.
We are back now, and the relief is mutual. Sharing a meal here is never only calories; it is dignity served hot — a few minutes when a child can be a child instead of counting hours to the next chance to eat. To everyone who gives so this programme runs, whether once in a while or every month through M-PESA and faithful transfers — thank you for understanding how deep that support goes.
A plate of githeri or ugali does not just fill a stomach; it steadies a whole day. Help us keep the fire lit and the portions fair — your next gift buys continuity, not a one-off photo.
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.
