National Tree Planting Day
Nyayo Highrise Ward held soil like a promise today — holes dug, seedlings unwrapped, hands pressing earth firm around roots. ETCO stood with Power Engineers, EcoWB, LLWF, ESNAC, Amani Kibera, Highrise Garbage Youth Initiative, and others.
Area Chief Mr Kennedy watched the lines of volunteers; group leaders spoke plainly about why trees matter in a place where shade is currency and floods do not read speeches.
Representatives from Canaan Estate, Andolo, Lindi, and SeaFar field joined the effort. By the end, three hundred and fifty seedlings had addresses — small flags on a map that desperately needs green.
The Deputy President’s national push — fifteen billion trees — can feel far away when you are holding one seedling and hoping it survives the week. Still, today was not abstract. It was mud under nails and a shared refusal to surrender the future to dust.
Kenya talks about billions of trees; we contributed our honest three hundred and fifty toward that national dream. Water them with us: follow our environmental days, volunteer, and help us protect the saplings from goats and neglect.
Trees are not charity props; they are shade for meetings, anchors for soil, and quiet teachers for children who deserve to grow up with green in the corner of their eye.
If you passed by and saw muddy knees and tired smiles, that was the work — not performance, proof.
We will be back to check stakes, chase stray plastic, and remind each other that care is not a one-day costume.
Happy Father's Day
As a man. It's Okay to start all over again. Let someone love you correctly, genuinely, value you and respectfully if they have to. Somewhere in your 30s, 40s or 50s, you'll get the opportunity to rebuild your life after a negative loop. It's important you see that journey through. Keep going and don't ever give up. Strong.
Day of an African Child 2026
The Day of the African Child was successfully celebrated, bringing together stakeholders from Kibra and Lang’ata Constituencies in a remarkable display of unity, collaboration, and shared commitment to the well-being of children. The event highlighted the strength and impact of collective action through the partnership and dedication of member groups of the Kibera Gender Advocacy Network (KGAN), local and international organizations, government ministries, and local administration. Their combined efforts demonstrated the importance of multi-stakeholder engagement in advancing children's rights and welfare. A notable highlight of the celebration was the participation of the Kenyan Judiciary. The event was honored by the presence of the Chief Magistrate of Kibera Law Courts, Hon. Anne Mwangi, together with her team of magistrates led by Hon. Christine Njagi. They dedicated time to engage with participants, grace the occasion, and lead by example by not only planting trees but also in promoting the protection and empowerment of children.
