The impacts of El Nino are starting to affect the Kibera informal settlement. Schools are closed, making it important to monitor where children are spending their time and what activities they are engaged in. The major hazards they face include flooded waters, fast-moving water run-offs, and streams, in addition to waterborne diseases and malaria.
Urban October.
On this World Cities Day, ETCO, in collaboration with the Nairobi Rivers Commission, engaged with communities living along Nairobi Rivers to discuss environmental concerns and how to maintain the cleanliness of all Nairobi rivers. The event, themed "Let The Rivers Flow," took place at Pumwani Social Hall.

Saturday, another reason to stay happy.
Saturdays are normally the best for us, as we share meals with children, a few youths, and the elderly, making it another day to be happy about.
Feeding Program Success
Our Children's Feeding Program is at the heart of what we do at ETCO. Every Saturday, we come together to make sure these young ones enjoy a delicious meal during lunchtime.
It's Saturday again
Despite the onset of colder weather and the looming threat of rain and bad weather, today's children's feeding program at ETCO remained resolute in its commitment to ensuring the well-being of the young ones. As expectations of inclement weather grow, the dedication of our team only strengthens.
