Let The Rivers Flow Launch
Our strong commitment to a clean environment compels us to remain dissatisfied with an untidy or neglected environment. We are dedicated to raising awareness about the crucial link between a clean environment and good health.
Today, ETCO (Empower The Community), EcoWB (Ecologists Without Borders), and Power Engineers have joined forces with the Nairobi Rivers Commission (NRC) and the Water Resources Authority (WRA) to inaugurate the Nairobi Rivers Cleanup Initiative. The primary objective of this launch is to ensure the unhindered flow of water from its sources to destinations while ensuring its appropriate use for various purposes such as agriculture, fishing, and domestic needs.
We urge the general public to be custodians of their environment since it is the sole place we call home. Let the rivers flow freely.

Early Lunch at ETCO
Diving deeper into the year with our children feeding program, yesterday's session at ETCO was filled with warmth, laughter, and nourishment. With the dedicated efforts of our team and the new interns, we ensured that over 350 children, along with elderly and youth members of the community, received a well-prepared meal. The presence of the interns brought fresh energy and enthusiasm, giving us hope for expanded children’s activities and engagement. As we continue to grow, we remain committed to ensuring that no child in our community goes hungry, and that every Saturday is a moment of joy and connection.
