Site Inspection for Tree Nursery at Nairobi Dam Park
Yesterday the bare plot looked different once boots marked it. Mr James, Kenya Forest Service officer for Lang'ata Constituency, walked the line with Mr Ken from Kamukunji. ETCO hosted alongside the Lang'ata Local Water Forum and the Highrise Youth Generation Group.
We pointed out where water could reach, where shade fell, where the first beds might sit. The plan is straightforward: prepare the site, train Climate Worx cohorts, then plant at least 10,000 seedlings to help keep Nairobi Dam Park cared for over the years.
Paper turned into pacing. That is how a nursery stops being an idea and becomes rows.
When the first community planting day is fixed, we will publish the date — bring sturdy gloves; we lend spades when the line grows.
Ngong River Regeneration Network - Zone (1-6)
The Ngong River Regeneration Network Zone Coordinators (Zones 1–6) held a productive meeting with the Commissioners representing the Ngong River, chaired by Commissioner Benjamin Langwen, alongside Commissioners John Kioli and Dr. Loice Jepkemboi Kipkiror, together with Inspector Ashford - NRC Secretariat. The meeting was highly engaging and inspiring, leaving us even more energized and committed to advancing the river restoration agenda. Together, we reaffirmed our shared commitment to not only regenerating our rivers, but also promoting a cleaner environment, encouraging food production through downstream farming, and creating sustainable job opportunities through riverine activities. #NgongRiverRestoration #NairobiRivers #EnvironmentalConservation #RiverRegeneration #ClimateAction #CommunityEmpowerment #GreenJobs
World Menstrual Hygiene Day Celebration
In celebration of Menstrual Hygiene Day, ETCO, in partnership with Rotary Club of Nairobi Connect and with support from the Safaricom Foundation, today donated 900 sanitary towels to girls at Joash Olum Primary School. This initiative was aimed at supporting the girl child by promoting menstrual dignity, boosting confidence, and helping keep girls in school so they can stay focused on their education and future careers.
