ETCO PARTICIPATES IN THE 2024 ANNUAL CIRCULAR PACKAGING CONFERENCE
On the second day (October 23, 2024), KEPRO extended the program by organizing a Circular Tour for key stakeholders involved in the value chain of sustainable waste management. The tour included visits to various aggregators, recyclers, and the Kenya Industrial Research and Development Institute (KIRDI). Valuable lessons were learned about effective circular economy approaches.
It's Saturday, and with increased number of children participating in our events and schools closed, we’re thrilled to have visitors joining hands with us in doing what we love most with the kids. Our children feeding program brings everyone together, creating a space where the community comes alive with joy and purpose.
ETCO's engagement in Climate Worx Mtaani reflects our unwavering commitment to environmental restoration and community empowerment. In this interactive program, participants have the chance to both learn and unlearn important practices about environmental care. Week two of our second cleaning cohort has brought together dedicated individuals and volunteers who are not only cleaning but also discovering the deep-rooted connections between local communities and their natural resources. Through hands-on experiences, ETCO is fostering awareness of sustainable practices and the importance of maintaining clean, thriving waterways for the health of our ecosystem.
ETCO, through its involvement in the Ngong River Regeneration Network - Zone 2, has taken an active role in the Climate Resilience Service Program (CRSP) 'Climate Worx Mtaani' initiative. As part of this ambitious job creation program, ETCO is providing crucial guidance to the various teams, or cohorts, working on river regeneration efforts. These cohorts are focused on restoring the health of the Ngong River, mitigating the negative impacts of climate change, and promoting sustainable environmental practices. ETCO's leadership has been instrumental in equipping the youths with the necessary equipment, skills and knowledge to ensure the success of the program, as they work together to keep the rivers clean and flowing, creating a lasting impact on the community and the environment.
