World AIDS Day 2025: ETCO’s Commitment to Health, Awareness & Protection in Digital Spaces
On 1 December the tent went up while dew was still on the grass. Organisations from Kibera set chairs in neat rows, and government teams laid out testing kits and pamphlets written in plain Kiswahili and English.
Nurses spoke about prevention, testing, and care without flinching. Young people asked questions they had carried for months. Parents listened when someone explained treatment as a daily routine, not a verdict.
Sixteen days, one conversation
The day also closed the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence. ETCO has been running sessions on safe digital spaces — how harassment shows up in DMs, how misinformation spreads in groups, and how to report without shame.
We kept the link simple: when violence shows up online or at home, health risks rise. We stayed with names and faces, not slogans.
If you want a school or youth group session on digital safety in Kibera, write with your preferred dates — we book about one month out.
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.
