Climate Change Resilience
The 'Climate Worx Mtaani' initiative is a year-long program expected to employ at least 20,000 youths across Nairobi's three main rivers: Ngong, Nairobi, and Mathare. Through this initiative, ETCO and the Ngong River Regeneration Network are not only fighting the harmful effects of climate change but also addressing the pressing issue of unemployment among youth. By engaging young people in meaningful work to restore river ecosystems, the program fosters a sense of ownership and responsibility for the environment, creating a ripple effect of positive change. ETCO’s commitment to this cause reflects its broader mission of community empowerment and environmental stewardship, ensuring a healthier and cleaner future for all.
Another day for Fish - Ugali after Clean Up.
Yesterday marked a significant milestone in the partnership between ETCO and Victory Farms Kenya, with strong community collaboration at the heart of our success. The day began with an environmental care initiative, where we organized a community cleanup while food preparation was underway. Victory Farms generously donated food items, primarily fish, which were shared as a token of appreciation for cleanup participants and used in our children feeding program. Over 860 children enjoyed hearty meals of fish and ugali, adding a joyful highlight to the day.
Another day for Environmental Champions
We welcome everyone interested in caring for the environment through a clean up. Our partnership with Victory Farms expands beyond just children feeding. We try our best to ensure that even our environment is well taken care of.
16 Days of Activism against GBV Launch
Gender-Based Violence (GBV) remains a significant challenge, particularly for women and children who are often the most vulnerable to abuse in homes and communities. Recognizing the urgent need to address this issue, ETCO, as part of the Kibera Gender Advocacy Network (KGAN), actively participates in initiatives that promote safety and justice. Recently, ETCO joined the 16 Days of Activism against GBV walk and launch event in Kibera, which concluded at the Guadalupe Catholic Church in Adams. This year’s theme, *Let’s Come Together and Act Now*, served as a powerful call to action for individuals, communities, and organizations to collaborate in creating a safer environment for women and children, free from violence and fear.
