Extended days for Community Environmental Clean Up
Despite being a short-term cleanup event, we are very grateful for the successful identification, planning, and execution of waste removal in clogged areas of Kibera, Highrise & Seafar, and Nairobi West. Although initially planned for three days, the exercise extended to five days and one night. ETCO deeply appreciates the partnership with PAKPRO and KEPRO and looks forward to continued collaboration in the future.
The event achieved the following:
1. A total of 68 Community members across the 3 areas employed for 5 days.
2. A total of 700 meters of the river were cleaned across the three areas.
3. 7 tonnes of wet waste and 2 tonnes of dry waste were collected.

ETCO's Kibera Slums Tour

FLOOD SUPPORT APPEAL – KIBERA
Following the heavy rains in Nairobi, several families in Kibera, especially those living along the riparian areas, were affected by floods. Sadly, lives were lost and many households lost or had their properties destroyed after storm waters swept through their homes. ETCO – Empower The Community is appealing to well-wishers and partners to support the affected families with food, clothing, bedding, medical support, financial and other basic needs. We also urge everyone to stay safe during this rainy season by avoiding crossing strong flowing waters and keeping away from stagnant or unfamiliar water to prevent accidents and waterborne diseases. Any support will be highly appreciated. PayPal: etcodonate@gmail.com
