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.
The discussion was fruitful and attended by notable figures such as His Excellency Germany Ambassador to Kenya, Mr. Sebastian Groth, UN Habitat Representatives, Nairobi Rivers Commission Assistant Chair, and other organizations dedicated to river cleanup in Nairobi. The Ambassador expressed a keen interest in supporting cleanup initiatives, emphasizing that any assistance provided should directly benefit the local communities. He urged community leaders to ensure this commitment is upheld and donated essential cleanup tools like wheelbarrows, rakes, spades, and gloves.
The Assistant Chair of the Nairobi Rivers Commission outlined the action plan, highlighting thematic areas and providing a clear guideline for the cleanup efforts.
ETCO's CEO, Mr. Collince Onyango, expressed appreciation for the efforts of the NRC and UN Habitat in involving community members and offering technical, financial, and goodwill support. He encouraged all present groups, organizations, and individuals to collaborate in cleaning the rivers. Mr. Onyango also announced ETCO's readiness to launch the first Nairobi Dam Tributaries cleanup program on November 10th 2023, inviting everyone to participate and explore potential partnerships. He acknowledged the support of their main sponsors, EcoWB and Power Engineers, who are actively working on designs for sustainable river restoration in Nairobi Dam.
