Another day for Fish - Ugali after Clean Up.
The cleanup event saw active participation from 216 community members who worked together to clean and unclog an 800-meter stretch of the trench from cultures to darajani in Soweto East Village. This effort improved water flow significantly, showcasing the power of collective action. The success of this event underscores the vital role of community involvement in fostering a cleaner and healthier environment.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our partners from the Ngong River Regeneration Network Zone 2, including Lang'ata Local Water Forum (LLWF), Mazingira Women Initiative, Baricho Youth Group, Kibera Talking, and Soko Moko Youth Group, for their attendance and support. Your dedication to environmental care is inspiring, and your efforts in mobilizing teams for this cause demonstrate an unwavering commitment to a better future.

Early Lunch at ETCO
Diving deeper into the year with our children feeding program, yesterday's session at ETCO was filled with warmth, laughter, and nourishment. With the dedicated efforts of our team and the new interns, we ensured that over 350 children, along with elderly and youth members of the community, received a well-prepared meal. The presence of the interns brought fresh energy and enthusiasm, giving us hope for expanded children’s activities and engagement. As we continue to grow, we remain committed to ensuring that no child in our community goes hungry, and that every Saturday is a moment of joy and connection.
