Let's create a brighter future through kids
Two weekends into the school holiday, our yard filled early — chalk dust on hands, a ball bouncing off a wall, someone humming a song they learned in church.
We ran simple lessons, played games that tired them out in the best way, then gathered for a meal while the sun slid toward the corrugated roofs. A child who is fed and heard stands a little taller; we see it in how they ask questions.
We keep saying it because it is true: skills change trajectories. We need mentors who can teach budgeting, public speaking, basic first aid, how to read a contract — the small literacies that turn a clever child into a prepared young adult.
Walk in if you can teach
If you have a Saturday morning and a skill to share, do not overthink the CV. Reach out through etco-kenya.org; we will match you with a session that fits the age group and the room we have that week.
Happy Father's Day
As a man. It's Okay to start all over again. Let someone love you correctly, genuinely, value you and respectfully if they have to. Somewhere in your 30s, 40s or 50s, you'll get the opportunity to rebuild your life after a negative loop. It's important you see that journey through. Keep going and don't ever give up. Strong.
Day of an African Child 2026
The Day of the African Child was successfully celebrated, bringing together stakeholders from Kibra and Lang’ata Constituencies in a remarkable display of unity, collaboration, and shared commitment to the well-being of children. The event highlighted the strength and impact of collective action through the partnership and dedication of member groups of the Kibera Gender Advocacy Network (KGAN), local and international organizations, government ministries, and local administration. Their combined efforts demonstrated the importance of multi-stakeholder engagement in advancing children's rights and welfare. A notable highlight of the celebration was the participation of the Kenyan Judiciary. The event was honored by the presence of the Chief Magistrate of Kibera Law Courts, Hon. Anne Mwangi, together with her team of magistrates led by Hon. Christine Njagi. They dedicated time to engage with participants, grace the occasion, and lead by example by not only planting trees but also in promoting the protection and empowerment of children.
