ETCO Children Feeding Program
Saturday comes in loud: plastic chairs scraping, someone laughing at the gate, and the smell of something cooking before you even see the pots. Schools are closed, so the numbers are up — more children squeezing onto the benches, more small hands reaching for plates. Visitors step through the door not as spectators but as people who came to do the work with us: scoop, serve, sit with a child for a minute.
This week we had extra reason to breathe easy. The Uebert Angel Foundation and the Faith Work Forum team stood with us in a very practical way — food came in, and non-food essentials too, until our office felt less like paperwork and more like a storeroom of possibility. Boxes lined the corridor; someone tested a ladle against a pot and the sound carried.
That kind of support does not arrive as a speech. It arrives as ugali that will stretch, as beans that will feed another Saturday, as supplies that say someone believes service to people is a blessing worth investing in. We are grateful — and we are already planning how every bag and carton moves out to where it belongs: into children's stomachs and into a community that keeps showing up.
If you have been thinking about giving, whether through M-PESA or by walking in with groceries, this is your invitation: join the next Saturday. Bring a friend. We will find you gloves, a serving spoon, and a child who will remember the day someone looked them in the eye while filling their plate.
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.
