Week 9 - Children Feeding Program
The sun sits high over Nyayo Highrise by the time the first pots come off the fire. Today is not a speech day; it is a sharing day — spoons clicking against metal, laughter spilling between houses, and one family among many who stopped to help serve so that dozens of children could eat before the afternoon heat peaked.
We do not take that kind of ordinary generosity for granted. Donors who give quietly from Nairobi, from the diaspora, or from a neighbour’s small surplus are the reason the programme still runs when budgets everywhere feel tight. Their support pays for more than ingredients — it pays for consistency, for a Saturday rhythm children can count on.
Be blessed, truly — and if this story lands with you, walk with us again next week. A little KSh each month adds up to a lot of plates in Kibera.
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.
