World Toilets Day
The Ngong River Regeneration Network Zone 2 proudly hosted an exhibition table that attracted considerable attention from dignitaries. It was an honor to present the Masterplan, a comprehensive roadmap addressing pollution in Nairobi Dam’s tributaries and aiming for the dam's full revitalization through cleaning of its tributaries first. The commitment and interest shown by the local community leaders validated the efforts of the Zone 2 team and inspired optimism for future progress.
One of the event's highlights was the Cabinet Secretary's promise to prioritize the restoration of the Ngong Rivers while urging community members to take an active role in maintaining proper sanitation. This collaborative approach, balancing government action with community responsibility, is key to ensuring long-lasting solutions. The event also featured engaging activities, such as the manual pit emptiers' challenge, which highlighted practical sanitation challenges and inspired discussions on organic, community-driven solutions.
Collince Onyango, the Coordinator of Ngong River Regeneration Network Zone 2 and CEO of ETCO, had the privilege to explain the statuses of the rivers and sanitation facilities within the zone to esteemed visitors. This event was a milestone in strengthening partnerships and advancing our mission of environmental restoration. We look forward to more impactful engagements that promote sustainable river regeneration and climate resilience.

FLOOD SUPPORT APPEAL – KIBERA
Following the heavy rains in Nairobi, several families in Kibera, especially those living along the riparian areas, were affected by floods. Sadly, lives were lost and many households lost or had their properties destroyed after storm waters swept through their homes. ETCO – Empower The Community is appealing to well-wishers and partners to support the affected families with food, clothing, bedding, medical support, financial and other basic needs. We also urge everyone to stay safe during this rainy season by avoiding crossing strong flowing waters and keeping away from stagnant or unfamiliar water to prevent accidents and waterborne diseases. Any support will be highly appreciated. PayPal: etcodonate@gmail.com
