Ngong Rivers Regeneration Network - Zone 2
Kiandaa village in Sarang’ombe Ward woke to the sound of shovels and greetings — the Foundation of Hope alongside Ngong Rivers Zone 2, ETCO among them, turning a cleanup into a neighbourhood reunion with purpose.
Seventy-two participants worked two hundred metres of river — not a marathon distance, but long enough for backs to ache and for gossip to turn into teamwork. By the time the weighing scales spoke, the numbers told a blunt story: 2.1 tonnes of wet waste and 0.3 tonnes of dry waste removed from a stretch many people had stopped seeing because looking hurt.
Leaders from groups across Zone 2 stood shoulder to shoulder with residents — proof that this network is not one logo but many hands. The hashtag stays the same for a reason: #LetTheRiversFlow is a demand, not a decoration.
Join the next Zone 2 action; bring gumboots and curiosity. If you cannot come, fund a sack or a meal for volunteers — we count every contribution in kilos and kindness.
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.
