Week 12 - Children feeding Program
When a visitor stands before the children — a nurse, a teacher, someone who smells like the outside world — the room changes. Chairs scrape closer. Questions sharpen. The wait for food becomes a wait for a story that might reroute a week.
That is what we value: life skills spoken person-to-person, not downloaded from a generic slide. On weeks without guests, children still come — they joke, they kick stones, they hover near the kitchen — but the day stretches thinner. We notice it. They notice it, in the way questions arrive slower and eyes scan the lane for a new face.
Visitors are welcome to share a talk, run an activity, or simply sit in the circle and answer honest questions about work and failure. You do not need a perfect CV — you need respect and punctuality. Message ETCO to schedule; we will match you to an age group and a topic that fits.
The meal will still be served either way. What your presence adds is texture — proof that adults can show up without a camera crew, and still be enough.
Last week a nurse demonstrated hand-washing with a bar of soap and a bucket — no slides, just foam and timing — and the children copied her like a chorus.
That is the difference we chase: voices from the community and from professions, meeting at the same plastic chairs — proof that a feeding day can hold both hunger work and horizon work without pretending either is easy.
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.
