New ETCO Office Furnishing in Kibera (Nyayo Highrise)
At the former Kibera Blessed Academy site, ETCO's door now opens onto a room meant for planning — desks, shelves going up, a place for visitors to sit without crowding the corridor.
We are still furnishing: a chair here, a filing cabinet wheeled in on a cart that squeaked on the tiles. Nyayo Highrise carries sound easily — laughter from the stairs, someone sweeping the landing.
Donors and partners made this step possible. We want Kibra and Lang'ata to find us faster, with clearer hours and a calmer place to talk about programmes.
Come on a Tuesday afternoon if you want to see what is finished — we will show you the wish list still pinned to the wall.
From Participation to Agency: ETCO at the SAIIA Youth Programming Innovation Lab
Last week, ETCO represented Kibra at the SAIIA Youth Programming Innovation Lab in Nairobi — where the real question wasn't youth participation, but youth agency. Here's what that means for our nine programmes, and an honest look at what it takes to build sustainably as a volunteer-run organisation.
Creating Impact, Building a Better Tomorrow
At ETCO, we're committed to creating lasting positive impact by keeping our environment safe and clean while creating meaningful employment opportunities for our communities. Through innovation and strategic partnerships with like-minded stakeholders, we're working together to achieve shared goals that drive sustainable development. We're also conducting a comprehensive economic survey to better understand the project's returns, impact, and scalability—ensuring every step we take is informed, effective, and built for long-term success.
