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.
Most welcome
ETCO and Lang'ata Local Water Forum (LLWF) will be hosting other partner organizations in Lang'ata and Kibra Constituencies who'll be participating in the Day of An African Child. We welcome you to be an advocate for the children and impact positively in building a future for them and generations to come. Tell a friend to tell a friend. We'll have a procession from Kibra DC ground to Canaan Estate Community Hall where the event will take place.
Day 1 Unclogging
Day 1. Today, ETCO in collaboration with the Nairobi Rivers Commission, Phase 3 and Canaan Estate Management, commenced efforts to address the long-standing drainage blockage at the Phase 3 Market Stalls. While this intervention provides a short-term solution to the recurring blockage that frequently causes flooding and related challenges in both Phase 3 and Canaan Estate, as well as inconveniences road users accessing Kibera through Nyayo Highrise Ward via Kibera Access Road, we strongly urge the management of both estates to establish a regular maintenance schedule for the culverts to prevent future clogging. With the anticipated El Niño rains, proactive preparedness is essential to minimize the risk of further property damage, flooding, stormwater-related impacts, and potential loss of life. These ongoing efforts form part of our commitment to protecting the environment, improving drainage systems, and ensuring that rivers and waterways flow freely without obstruction.
