Voluntary Clean Up - Railways Estate Phase 3
Railways Estate Phase 3 does not feel dramatic on a map — until you are there with sacks, tongs, and the stubborn patience waste demands. We began this stretch voluntarily: collect what is loose, secure places where sorting can happen later, keep people safe while we chase funding that matches the scale of the problem.
On day two we pushed further along the same promise — opening access points, piling what we could move, mapping what we could not. Six young people worked with us at five dollars a day — a small wage, honestly named, because dignity includes pay even when the budget is tight.
Seven days in, the heaps tell the truth: there is more to lift than muscle alone can carry. That is not a confession of defeat; it is the reason we keep asking partners for support — so voluntary spirit can meet consistent tools, trucks, and training.
If you can sponsor a cleanup day or connect us to a recycler who understands informal settlements, reach out. We will show you photos, weights, and receipts — proof, not performance.
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.
