Week 22 - Feeding Program
Week 22 of 2023: Saturday meant home for children not in boarding, rest for adults catching breath between gigs. ETCO opened the gate for the weekly meal — one sitting that stitches the week together.
Bowls, banter, someone’s phone playing gospel too loud on purpose. This is how we stay neighbours — not through projects alone, but through repeated presence.
Meanwhile the ETCO Theatre team rolled street theatre into the office yard — the first performance focused on gender-based violence and domestic violence, stories told loud enough for people passing the lane to stop and listen. Art is not decoration here; it is a warning and a mirror.
We still need mentors, partners, and sponsors who can stay past a single headline. If you have theatre skills, legal aid links, or funds for the feeding line, start at etco-kenya.org — we will match you to what is urgent this week, not last year’s brochure.

From Participation to Agency: ETCO at the SAIIA Youth Programming Innovation Lab
Last week, ETCO represented Kibra at the SAIIA Youth Programming Innovation Lab in Nairobi — where the real question wasn't youth participation, but youth agency. Here's what that means for our nine programmes, and an honest look at what it takes to build sustainably as a volunteer-run organisation.
