Happy New Year 2025 to you all
Fireworks lit someone else’s sky on TV, but in Kibera the new year arrived with church drums, a few loud speakers, and the quiet decision to try again. At ETCO, January smells of paraffin and fresh exercise books — the same mix as hope and worry.
Our children’s feeding program has become the heartbeat many people know us by: Saturdays when pots clang, children line up, and someone gets a meal who might have skipped breakfast. It is not only food — it is a place where a child is called by name and an elder is offered a chair.
2025 will ask hard questions — rent, health, school fees in KSh that never shrink. We enter the year with our hands open: for partners who can give, for volunteers who can peel potatoes, for anyone who believes a child should not start the week hungry.
Resolve one practical thing this month — a bag of maize, a Saturday morning — and walk it through our gate.
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.
Kikuyu Rotary Club Team site visit - partnership
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. 😊😊
