Kibera slums has a lot of talents ranging from soccer, volley ball, among others. Rugby has been less focused on and most often our children either go for miles to look for this sport or completely ignore its importance and fun.....

Integrity, Passion, Solidarity, Discipline and Respect as the defining characteristics of rugby, ETCO aims at instilling these values to the children at an early stage to make them productive and responsible citizens in future. These values also ensures that Rugby maintains its unique character both on and off the field of play.

The Core Values enable participants immediately to understand the character of the Game and what makes it distinctive as a sport which is played by people of all shapes and sizes on different age grades and different genders.

It was our pleasure to not only receive training T-Shirts from Tatiana and her friends, but also to be visited by madam Sarah from the Kenya Rugby Union.

However, rugby needs good energy to play. Our current challenge is to get enough food for them to eat after training which is for energy and motivation.

Service to Humanity

Service to humanity is at the core of ETCO's mission. We extended a helping hand to the flood victims in Nyayo Highrise Ward, Lang'ata Constituency, particularly in the Andolo and Russia areas. The impact of the floods has been devastating, with many people displaced, properties destroyed, and lives lost. Despite the challenges, we are grateful for the overwhelming support from individuals and organizations standing with us in aiding the flood victims in Kibera through ETCO.
