Week 4 Children Feeding Program
The compound fills earlier every week. Schools opened their doors on Monday, yet by Saturday the ETCO office feels like a second playground — sneakers everywhere, someone’s homework sheet folded into a back pocket, the smell of soap and sweat and stew all mixed together.
We stopped guessing why the numbers keep rising. Maybe some families have not sent children “upcountry” for school yet; maybe holiday energy lingers; maybe word simply spreads along the alleys — “kesho kwa ETCO kuna chakula.” Whatever the reason, we keep ladling. A child who chooses our doorstep on a free morning is a child asking to be seen.
Soon we launch an art programme focused on African cultural dance and music — another reason to gather that does not depend on hunger alone. Weekdays belong to teachers; weekends belong to us, to rhythm, colour, and the slow work of keeping young hands busy with something hopeful.
Walk with us as we stretch from plates to practice rooms — your support buys both.
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.
