Climate Change Resilience
The 'Climate Worx Mtaani' initiative is a year-long program expected to employ at least 20,000 youths across Nairobi's three main rivers: Ngong, Nairobi, and Mathare. Through this initiative, ETCO and the Ngong River Regeneration Network are not only fighting the harmful effects of climate change but also addressing the pressing issue of unemployment among youth. By engaging young people in meaningful work to restore river ecosystems, the program fosters a sense of ownership and responsibility for the environment, creating a ripple effect of positive change. ETCO’s commitment to this cause reflects its broader mission of community empowerment and environmental stewardship, ensuring a healthier and cleaner future for all.
