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.
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
As we gear up for a year filled with river-related activities, we wish you a prosperous and highly successful year in all your endeavours. 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.
