The heavy downpour last night along the Ngong River corridors did not result in any loss of life, but it led to significant destruction of structures and widespread flooding. The floods swept away household properties, with several households being inundated with solid waste materials carried by the floodwaters. Additionally, the unplanned deposition of solid waste onto roads and pathways has hindered accessibility and requires urgent intervention. Moreover, open ditches filled with rainwater pose hazards to the environment and need to be addressed promptly.
Always thankful.
ETCO's Saturday Children Feeding Program saw a significant increase in attendance today, with more children participating. These programs are crucial for providing meals to our community. Beyond children, this initiative also includes youth and elderly members, demonstrating its wide-ranging impact across different age groups in the community.
World Water day (Thwake Dam Visit)
It's a fantastic day for environmental enthusiasts as communities celebrate World Water Day. Nairobi Rivers Commision and the UN-Habitat organized a Nairobi community trip to Thwake dam to see the impact of the pollution downstream. During flagging off of the trip Nairobi Rivers Commission Chairperson Dr. Pamela Olet emphasized the need to regenerate the rivers and assured the Government's commitment as she flagged off the team. Present Were Nairobi Rivers Commission Vice Chairperson Prof. Elijah Biamah and Commissioner Dr. Duncan Ojwang
Another great day with the kids
Today's children feeding program was truly remarkable, marked by its highly interactive nature. The session was not just about providing meals but also about creating a nurturing environment for the children. Before enjoying their meals, the kids engaged in creative activities like drawing and painting, which not only sparked their creativity but also provided a sense of joy and accomplishment.
Week 6 of 2024 looking better
That's wonderful to hear about your children feeding program! Week 6 of 2024 must mark a significant milestone. It's heartwarming to see the program's impact growing. The consistent effort and dedication you and your team put into this initiative are truly making a difference in the lives of these children.
Equipment challenge for the feeding program
Our children feeding program strives to nourish young minds and bodies, but it faces challenges related to the availability and sustainability of essential equipment like plates and spoons. Ensuring every child has access to these basic utensils can be difficult, especially in resource-constrained environments where funding for such items may be limited. Additionally, maintaining a sufficient supply of plates and spoons requires ongoing efforts to repair or replace damaged or lost items.
Week 4 of 2024
Today, ETCO's feeding program was particularly special as it not only provided nourishment but also valuable life skills lessons. The visitors who generously contributed their time and knowledge added a unique dimension to the event. As we all sat down to enjoy the meal together, the atmosphere was one of warmth and camaraderie.
Amazing week...!!!
Our successful feeding program has been a source of joy and fulfillment for both the organizers and the children involved. Gathering with the children regularly not only provides them with nutritious meals but also creates a space for teaching and learning new things.
Week 2 2024
The Saturday children's feeding program has kicked off the year with a positive start, witnessing a notable increase in the number of children attending. This surge in attendance reflects a growing awareness and appreciation within the community for the program's importance in providing nutritious meals to children in need. Volunteers and organizers have been heartened by the enthusiastic response, which has fueled their dedication to ensuring every child receives a warm meal and a welcoming environment on Saturdays.
