End-of-Year and New Year Wishes
End-of-Year and New Year End-of-Year Reflection: As we bid farewell to 2023, we reflect on a year of collective commitment and impactful strides at ETCO. Our gratitude extends to our dedicated team, steadfast partners, and resilient communities. Community Impact: In 2023, our holistic approach to community well-being yielded significant successes. The Feeding Program alleviated food insecurity, fostering a sense of community and support. Simultaneously, our commitment to environmental care resulted in cleaner, greener spaces through tree planting and waste management initiatives. These endeavors complemented the core of our mission – the establishment of the ETCO Computer Centre, a beacon of educational empowerment bridging the digital divide. Anticipation for 2024: As we look forward to 2024, our unwavering resolve to reduce crime, foster education, and catalyze positive change propels us into a new year filled with promise and fresh opportunities. Together, let's continue shaping a future where empowerment knows no bounds. New Year Aspirations: May the coming year be adorned with moments of growth, resilience, and unbridled joy. May our joint endeavors kindle transformations that resonate far beyond our immediate reach. Here's to new beginnings, shared triumphs, and a profound impact on the lives we touch. In the spirit of unity and collaboration, ETCO wishes you a festive holiday season and a New Year adorned with prosperity, good health, and limitless opportunities. Happy New Year! Warm regards, ETCO-EMPOWER THE COMMUNITY
Today, the Nairobi Rivers Commission, under the leadership of Chairperson Dr. Pamela Olet, along with Commissioners Dr. Duncan Ojwang and Grace Messoppir, embarked on an extensive tour of Nairobi Dam and its key tributaries to address the escalating waste pollution crisis. Joined by the Shanghai Municipal Engineering Design Institute (SMEDI), CEO of ETCO - Collince Onyango, community leaders, and representatives from the Ngong River Regeneration Network, the team assessed the severe impact of waste along critical points, including Area 51 - Sarang'ombe Bridge, Soweto West Bridge, Kibera South Hospital Bridge, and Nairobi Dam itself.
ETCO's continued children feeding program remains a beacon of hope for the community, providing nutritious meals to those in need every Saturday. Today, we served Githeri, a traditional Kenyan dish made from a delightful combination of maize and beans. This nutritious meal is not only enjoyed by the children but also by the youth and elderly who participate in our program. The smiles on their faces as they savor the food remind us of the impact we are making in their lives.
Another learning experience to engage with the community in Mathare and the River Line communities. Event filled with events and transfer of knowledge and information.
