Let The Rivers Flow Launch
Our strong commitment to a clean environment compels us to remain dissatisfied with an untidy or neglected environment. We are dedicated to raising awareness about the crucial link between a clean environment and good health.
Today, ETCO (Empower The Community), EcoWB (Ecologists Without Borders), and Power Engineers have joined forces with the Nairobi Rivers Commission (NRC) and the Water Resources Authority (WRA) to inaugurate the Nairobi Rivers Cleanup Initiative. The primary objective of this launch is to ensure the unhindered flow of water from its sources to destinations while ensuring its appropriate use for various purposes such as agriculture, fishing, and domestic needs.
We urge the general public to be custodians of their environment since it is the sole place we call home. Let the rivers flow freely.
Another learning experience to engage with the community in Mathare and the River Line communities. Event filled with events and transfer of knowledge and information.
ETCO was actively represented at the Ngong River Regeneration Network - Zone 2 during World Rivers Day in Mathare, held at the Mathare Police Depot on Saturday, September 20th, and Sunday, September 21st, 2024. ETCO CEO Collince Onyango and Environmental Director Raphael Oduor engaged with visitors at the Ngong River Community tent, providing detailed explanations about the network's work and its Community Master Plan Roadmap. The Ngong River Regeneration Network is committed to raising awareness and promoting sensitization about rivers and riparian areas.
Yesterday, ETCO represented by Raphael Oduor - Environmental Director, had the privilege of attending a tree planting and growth event organized by the Karen Forte Foundation at Olympic High School, which was honored by the presence of Chief Environment Officer Nairobi County H.E. Hon. Geoffrey Mosiria. During the event, several important environmental issues were thoroughly discussed. Students, landlords, and the wider community were urged to take the lead in combating climate change by maintaining a clean environment and planting trees in their local areas.
