Site Visit
The Nairobi Rivers Commission commissioners arrived with notebooks and practical shoes — Highrise, block H8, Seefar Apartments, a patch of ground that could hold a crowd without swallowing ankles in mud.
We walked every site on the shortlist that November morning. Voices echoed off corrugated walls; a boda-boda idled too close, then peeled away. When the dust settled, the plot near H8 and Seefar won — flat enough for tents, visible enough for people coming from different lanes.
The calendar for 18–19 November was not forgiving. Permits, partners, and portable toilets had to land in the same week — the kind of pressure that turns a phone hot against your ear.
If your organisation can supply fencing or sound for river events in Kibera, call early — we still build these days on short clocks and long hope.
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.
