Week 17 - Eventful day
To get things ready, ETCO Team almost didn't sleep. They woke up so early to prepare for this long day. Cooking was the 1st activity of the day where we worked together to ensure that food was ready in time. Some of the team members split to their various departments to equally prepare. We had children play various games at Undugu Grounds including, rugby, handball, volley and soccer. A good meal was served to them at ETCO Offices and then all eyes were on ETCO Theatre at Canaan Estate Community Hall where our actors and actresses crowned the day by showcasing their talents through acting.
We love when our activities generate from within. The passion in which we do things with and the joy that comes with the results associated to them.
Having things done passionately, informs our decision making on which departments to create to allow for more room of empowerment.
Site Inspection for Tree Nursery at Nairobi Dam Park
Yesterday, ETCO, the Lang’ata Local Water Forum (LLWF), and the Highrise Youth Generation Group hosted Mr. James, a Kenya Forest Service Officer for Lang’ata Constituency (accompanied by Mr. Ken, KFS Officer Kamukunji), for a site visit to inspect our tree nursery. The initiative will begin with site preparation, training the Climate Worx team (cohorts), and the planting of at least 10,000 seedlings to support the long-term maintenance of Nairobi Dam Park.
Happy New Year 2026
As we gear up for a year filled with river-related activities, we wish you a prosperous and highly successful year in all your endeavours. We are confident that even more initiatives lie ahead for the Ngong River Regeneration in 2026. Let us continue sensitising our community members and ready ourselves to contribute—through partnerships, clean-up activities, and all other efforts—towards restoring and revitalising our rivers.
Merry Christmas
Happy Holidays to you all. To those who have been a blessing to the communities we serve though our programs, we are forever grateful and we pray for abundance to you always. www.etco-kenya.org
