Grateful for your support
Some weeks we have long stories — trips, visitors, drama on the stage. This week we have the truth underneath all of it: the Saturday children’s feeding programme runs because people choose, again and again, to give.
Morning at Nyayo Highrise smells of soap and smoke from the jiko. Volunteers arrive with sacks balanced on shoulders; someone jokes that the stairs are cheaper than gym membership. By noon the lane knows we are cooking — a few children appear early, pretending they came for something else.
Your M-PESA notice, your bag of maize, your hour wiping tables — it lands as hot food in a plastic bowl, as a child who stops looking at the floor when they say thank you. Support is not an abstract “impact”; it is oil in the pan and a second helping for a teenager who ate little at home.
We are not polishing a brand; we are keeping a promise to Kibera. When prices jump, you are the reason we do not turn children away at the door.
Stay with us — etco-kenya.org lists what we need this month and who to talk to if you want receipts, a bank route, or a quiet visit to see the queue for yourself.
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.
