Victory Farms Kenya Supports ETCO.
Schools were closed, so the yard filled early — over 920 children, 230 elders, 125 youth, numbers that sound like pride until you remember why they matter: holidays stretch food math past breaking.
Victory Farms Kenya, led by Sharon and Christobel, rolled in with fish stacked like silver, sacks of maize and wheat flour, rice, cooking oil, greens, sanitary pads, soda, bread — logistics paid for so ETCO could focus on spoons and songs. Mart Stiekema at Victory Farms helped unlock what felt impossible on a single day.
Children played football until the dust went orange; someone drummed on a plastic jerican; a girl drew a fish with a broken crayon and held it up like a trophy. The crowd also whispered a truth we do not hide — we still need our own hall and field so no one eats in the rain.
Sponsor a sports afternoon next holiday — balls, whistles, juice — and we will put your name on a chalkboard that children actually read.
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.
