Let's Go ETCO
Let’s go — two words you hear when a queue is moving and nobody wants to lose the momentum. This Saturday had that energy: plates first, then curiosity.
Children ate well — real food, not a story about food — then leaned forward at screens at the ETCO Computer Centre, learning clicks that open doors. Later, games spilled laughter into the corridor: competition without cruelty, joy without a budget line for it.
You could see it in their faces — the shift from “I am hungry” to “I am learning,” without anyone making a speech about empowerment. The room did the talking.
That is the kind of Saturday we want repeated — body fed, mind stretched, spirit lighter. We are still here because the community keeps meeting us halfway.
Come volunteer, send support, or tell one friend what ETCO does on Saturdays. The next child through the gate might be the one who remembers the day someone taught her to log in.
Digital skills are not magic; they are doors. And a child who has eaten first can concentrate long enough for a door to matter.
So let’s go — again next Saturday — because momentum is not motivation alone; it is meals prepared, cables plugged in, and adults stubborn enough to believe both belong in the same morning.
Tell someone what you read here. Sometimes the simplest advocacy is a forwarded message that becomes a donation, a volunteer, a child’s first afternoon without an empty stomach.
That is the ETCO rhythm — practical, weekly, human.
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.
