KITO visits ETCO
Dr Asma welcomed guests at the ETCO office in Kibera, Soweto East — the KITO team led by Dr Marcus Harbord and Fabio Divac — and the room filled with maps of needs, not theories. They talked plainly about children in Kenya: how a free, reliable symptoms checker paired with tailored medical advice could reach parents who cannot afford a wrong guess on a feverish night.
It was a good interaction — respectful, specific, forward-looking — and we hope it grows into future partnership. Technology only matters when it meets real mothers, real temperatures, real bus fares to clinic.
KITO, you are most welcome back — and to anyone building health tools for low-resource settings, introduce yourself. We will tell you what life looks like from this side of the city.
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
