World Toilets Day
The Ngong River Regeneration Network Zone 2 proudly hosted an exhibition table that attracted considerable attention from dignitaries. It was an honor to present the Masterplan, a comprehensive roadmap addressing pollution in Nairobi Dam’s tributaries and aiming for the dam's full revitalization through cleaning of its tributaries first. The commitment and interest shown by the local community leaders validated the efforts of the Zone 2 team and inspired optimism for future progress.
One of the event's highlights was the Cabinet Secretary's promise to prioritize the restoration of the Ngong Rivers while urging community members to take an active role in maintaining proper sanitation. This collaborative approach, balancing government action with community responsibility, is key to ensuring long-lasting solutions. The event also featured engaging activities, such as the manual pit emptiers' challenge, which highlighted practical sanitation challenges and inspired discussions on organic, community-driven solutions.
Collince Onyango, the Coordinator of Ngong River Regeneration Network Zone 2 and CEO of ETCO, had the privilege to explain the statuses of the rivers and sanitation facilities within the zone to esteemed visitors. This event was a milestone in strengthening partnerships and advancing our mission of environmental restoration. We look forward to more impactful engagements that promote sustainable river regeneration and climate resilience.
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.
