Validation of the NRC 2023 - 2024 Strategic Plan
The P.S for Devolution, Teresia Mbaika, Dr. Pamella Olet as Chairperson, alongside Vice Chairperson Prof. Elijah Biamah, Commissioners, CEO Brig. Joseph Muracia, led the event, which saw participation from representatives of private and public sector institutions, and community organizations actively engaged in river restoration efforts. The meeting proved highly productive.
The NRC remains steadfast in its mission to coordinate efforts ensuring all Nairobi rivers flow freely and are safe for domestic and public use.
Every stakeholder organization was encouraged to pick at least two stronghold programs they are handling to align with the NRC goals (ie. ETCO deals with children and solid waste management). So we just need to prove that we are working more regularly to prove our consistency.

Early Lunch at ETCO
Diving deeper into the year with our children feeding program, yesterday's session at ETCO was filled with warmth, laughter, and nourishment. With the dedicated efforts of our team and the new interns, we ensured that over 350 children, along with elderly and youth members of the community, received a well-prepared meal. The presence of the interns brought fresh energy and enthusiasm, giving us hope for expanded children’s activities and engagement. As we continue to grow, we remain committed to ensuring that no child in our community goes hungry, and that every Saturday is a moment of joy and connection.
