Holiday impact - in Nyayo Highrise Ward
In a powerful demonstration of their commitment, ETCO and Tujiamini SportPesa led a tree-planting exercise along Nairobi Dam and Canaan Estate. This act not only beautified the area but also contributed to environmental conservation efforts. Moreover, their joint efforts in cleaning up major rivers that form the Ngong Rivers in Zone 2 highlighted a proactive approach to addressing water pollution, showing that environmental stewardship is a key priority for both organizations.
The day was a testament to what can be achieved through collaboration and community engagement. With activities ranging from sensitization programs to tree planting, unclogging waterways, and feeding over 450 children, ETCO and Tujiamini SportPesa demonstrated that impactful change begins at the grassroots level. The food donation drive further underscored their commitment to supporting vulnerable communities, leaving a lasting impact on the lives of 520 families.
