Receiving potting bags for the Nairobi Dam Park Tree Nursery
The lorry eased in, and the stack looked impossible until you started counting: 20,000 potting bags from the Kenya Forest Service, arranged through Officer James Mwangi.
Plastic rustled like dry leaves as we passed bundles hand to hand. Each sack means a seedling can leave the nursery with roots held firm and soil tucked in.
By evening the store smelled of new plastic and red dust. Boots left prints on the office steps. We were tired in the good way.
If you can offer a pickup and an hour on a delivery morning, call the office before the next offload — we will tell you the time the truck is expected.
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.
