Smart Children Lacking Education Opportunity
During our Saturdays' children empowerment programs where we interact with at least 200 children a day, we realized that there were a lot of very bright but from very needy families. Most of the children were unable to go back to school due to lack of the required school materials fees included.
ETCO Started off the Education Program by sponsoring 5 children (Joash Olum Primary School - Kibera). We are aiming at sponsoring as many brilliant children from various informal settlement communities whose families are unable to fully provide their education needs - focusing on public schools to enable a better follow up of their performance both at home and in school.
Starting with Grade-1 in this Kenya's new education system of Competency Based Curriculum (CBC), we expect to continue with the program yearly with at least 20 children sponsoredj. Some of the requirements and education materials include; books and other learning materials, shoes and shoe brush/polish, school uniforms, toys(for the daycare) among others.
We also plan to revive our Little Children Daycare Centre which provided kindergarten services in a very clean, secured, and safe environment at an affordable price.
New ETCO Office Furnishing in Kibera (Nyayo Highrise)
At the former Kibera Blessed Academy, ETCO has officially established its office space and is currently in the process of furnishing it to better serve the community of Kibra and Lang'ata efficiently. This marks a significant step in strengthening our operations and expanding our impact. We are sincerely grateful to all our donors, sponsors, and partners who continue to believe in our vision and are making this dream a reality. Your support is building more than just an office — it is building hope and opportunity for the community we serve.
Site Inspection for Tree Nursery at Nairobi Dam Park
Yesterday, ETCO, the Lang’ata Local Water Forum (LLWF), and the Highrise Youth Generation Group hosted Mr. James, a Kenya Forest Service Officer for Lang’ata Constituency (accompanied by Mr. Ken, KFS Officer Kamukunji), for a site visit to inspect our tree nursery. The initiative will begin with site preparation, training the Climate Worx team (cohorts), and the planting of at least 10,000 seedlings to support the long-term maintenance of Nairobi Dam Park.
Happy New Year 2026

We are confident that even more initiatives lie ahead for the Ngong River Regeneration in 2026. Let us continue sensitising our community members and ready ourselves to contribute—through partnerships, clean-up activities, and all other efforts—towards restoring and revitalising our rivers.
