Weekend Blessings for Children at ETCO
Monday was coming — uniforms pressed, pencils counted, the small anxieties of a new term — but Saturday still belonged to laughter at ETCO.
We set the pots, filled cups, and watched children line up with the patience you learn when food is shared, not guaranteed. Some stood on tiptoe to see what was cooking; others teased each other until a volunteer called the next table forward.
Most of these children travel to schools far from Nyayo Highrise. Holidays are when we get the long hours — the meals, the games, the conversations that do not fit into a rushed evening after homework.
That steadiness happens because people show up every weekend with rice, beans, time, and M-PESA when the budget runs thin. Special thanks to The Capital Whiskey Club for helping keep the fire lit.
Want to sponsor a Saturday lunch or bring a skill session before the next term break? Message us at etco-kenya.org — we will tell you what we are cooking and how many bowls we need.
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.
