Children Feeding Program continues
The city had been tense — protests, tear gas remembered in throats, parents returning home with smaller envelopes than the week before. When the cost of living spikes, children eat less and pretend they are not hungry.
So we kept Saturday sacred: pots on, tables wiped, a line forming before noon. Sharing food is our stubborn way of saying we are still here together — neighbours, volunteers, a child who only knows your face from the serving spoon.
Nigel Arensen visited us that season — walked through, asked direct questions, listened. We are grateful when friends cross from curiosity to showing up; it widens the network we need when flour prices jump overnight.
The programme continues because people send KSh when they can and show up when they cannot. See etco-kenya.org for how to sponsor a Saturday or bring a team visit that respects the community’s pace.
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.
