NGONG RIVER CLEAN UP
Tomorrow is the day. Tonight, someone in Kibera is listening to rain on iron sheets and doing maths no one should have to do—how high is the water, how fast can we move the mattress, which path is still passable with a child on your back.
Flooding is not a headline here; it is a neighbour knocking at 3 a.m., a shoe floating past your door, a smell that lingers after the water goes down. The Ngong River carries more than water—it carries plastic, soil, and everything careless days have dumped upstream.
Unclogging a river is not romantic work. It is sacks, shovels, sweat, and the stubborn belief that if water can flow, maybe next week a family sleeps dry. It is also community courage: showing up when you are tired, because tired is still better than trapped.
We are showing up to let the river breathe again—so when the clouds return, Kibera is not paying the full price for other people’s waste. Come early. Wear boots if you have them. Bring gloves. Bring a friend. Bring the kind of patience that outlasts one morning. #LetTheRiversFlow
If you cannot lift a sack, you can still help: stop trash at the source, call out dumping, and remind each other that a river is not a convenient place to make problems disappear.

FLOOD SUPPORT APPEAL – KIBERA
Heavy rains brought flooding to Kibera’s riparian areas—destroying homes, claiming lives, and leaving families in urgent need. ETCO appeals to well-wishers for food, clothing, bedding, medical support, and other basics, while urging everyone to stay safe around fast water and contamination risks.
