On a bright April morning at Kamukunji, dust rose where shovels met soil and young trees waited in sacks. The theme hung in the air as plain as a slogan on a vest: Our Power, Our Planet.
ETCO stood beside other groups working the same river in different bends — Nairobi River, zone by zone, people who know the smell of stagnant water and the sound of plastic catching in the reeds. Together we planted, cleared, and talked through what it takes to bring a stretch of bank back to life.
Learning from others on the river
Partnering with organisations that do what you do — only in another place — is rarely boring. It is a day of swapped phone numbers, hard questions, and small victories: a trench unclogged, a seedling tucked in, a child who learns the name of a tree.
If you want to join the next river or tree day in Kibera, walk in on a Saturday or message ETCO — gloves and goodwill go a long way.
