Week 17 - Eventful day
The team barely slept — pots to light, mats to roll, routes to confirm. By dawn, smoke already climbed from the kitchen; cooking was the day’s first act of love, long before anyone called it a programme, long before the first whistle.
At Undugu Grounds, children scattered into motion — rugby, handball, volleyball, soccer — jerseys clashing colours, coaches shouting encouragement that sometimes sounded like fathers who remembered being young here too, lungs burning and still calling one more pass.
When stomachs began to complain louder than ambition, we returned to ETCO for a hot meal — benches scraping, spoons ringing enamel. Then evening tilted toward Canaan Estate Community Hall, where ETCO Theatre took the stage and the day finished in dialogue and laughter instead of statistics, the kind of ending you remember in your feet, still tapping a rhythm from the last scene.
Born from inside
We love when activities rise from our own people — passion you can hear in voices that crack at the right line, joy that spills into the aisles. That energy shapes which departments we grow next, where we invest rehearsal time, and how we defend art as work, not decoration.
Backstage, someone stitched a tear in a costume with fishing line — tough, invisible, patient. Out front, the audience forgot to check their phones for whole minutes.
If you want to sponsor theatre props or transport for the next show, talk to us — the curtain goes up because someone pays for the diesel and the daring.
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.
Kikuyu Rotary Club Team site visit - partnership
It was a pleasure hosting the Nairobi Rotary Club Connect’s Yumbya Nyamai, who also represented Ecologists Without Borders (EcoWB), alongside the Kikuyu Rotary Club Presidents—past, current, and incoming—George Ngotho, Patrick, and Marion respectively. We truly appreciated your visit to the site and your interest in the upcoming waste management project.
Efforts: Inputs - Waste Management Project Strategy
Soon, just very soon. It will all make sense. Efforts, sleepless nights.... Stress, strategies, failures and minor successes... One day, I'll look back and say, Yes, I created a *System* Generation System... Me and the people I serve will be grateful... I'll be happy to have served my purpose in this world. 😊😊
