Increase in participants for the feeding program.
Schools closed, and our Saturday turned noisy — the good kind. More children showed up for the feeding programme, holidays pushing families to stretch what little is at home a little farther.
When classes stop, the safety net thins. A meal on Saturday becomes more than nutrition; it becomes rhythm — something a child can count on while adults hunt for the next KSh.
Long holidays are not “free time” for every household. They can mean more mouths at home all day, more snacks requested, more pressure on caregivers who are already juggling debts.
We saw the numbers rise and took it seriously — extra names mean extra planning, not panic disguised as optimism.
If you are a parent, you know the holiday rhythm: more requests, more creativity, more stretching. If you are a neighbour, you might notice the same child visiting the window twice — not rude, just hungry.
We increased portions where we could, watched the queue with honest eyes, and planned the next shop run like a small battle — because feeding more people without cutting quality is the promise we refuse to break lightly.
School holidays will end; the need will not vanish overnight. Still, today mattered — bellies full, voices loud, a Saturday that felt like a small anchor in a long break.
We also serve youth and elderly neighbours when resources allow, because hunger does not respect age brackets. If you watched the line grow and wondered how to help — sponsor a week of meals, share this post, or come stir a sufuria with us.
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.
