Easter Feeding Program
Steam rose from the pot before the first children reached the new ETCO office on Easter Friday. Outside, Kibera carried its usual noise — boda-bodas, a hawker calling prices, the smell of chapati from a stall down the lane.
Tim Ruff and Stephanie had sponsored the day. We filled bowls with githeri and passed plastic cups of clean water, watching small hands test the heat before the first bite.
Our founder Collince moved between the doorway and the serving table, joking with parents, counting heads so no child waited too long. By midday the room smelled of stew and soap from freshly washed hands.
Someone said the holiday finally tasted like something solid. We ran short on spoons once — a child waited, patient, until we rinsed a spare.
If you want to sponsor the next children's meal at our Nyayo Highrise office, message us through etco-kenya.org and ask what we are cooking this month.
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.

It was a pleasure hosting the Nairobi Rotary Club Connect’s Yumbya Nyamai, who also represented Ecologists Without Borders (EcoWB), alongside the Kikuyu Rotary Club Presidents—past, current, and incoming—George Ngotho, Patrick, and Marion respectively. We truly appreciated your visit to the site and your interest in the upcoming waste management project.
Efforts: Inputs - Waste Management Project Strategy
Soon, just very soon. It will all make sense. Efforts, sleepless nights.... Stress, strategies, failures and minor successes... One day, I'll look back and say, Yes, I created a *System* Generation System... Me and the people I serve will be grateful... I'll be happy to have served my purpose in this world. 😊😊
