ETCO's Children Feeding Program is a remarkable initiative that takes place every Saturday, aimed at addressing the pressing issue of hunger among children in informal settlement communities. Knowing that many children go through a day without a meal, ETCO steps in to provide a nourishing lunch, ensuring that these young ones receive the sustenance they need to thrive. However, the program goes beyond simply providing food. ETCO recognizes the importance of holistic development, and thus engages the children in a range of activities. From African cultural music and dance classes to drawing and painting sessions, computer classes, sports, and other life skills, the program offers an enriching environment where children can explore their talents, learn new skills, and experience the joy of creativity. Through ETCO's Children Feeding Program, these children not only receive a much-needed meal but also gain opportunities to develop their potential and foster a brighter future.

Donating to organizations like ETCO - Empower The Community has several compelling reasons. Firstly, it helps address the needs of vulnerable community members by providing them with food and essential goods. This improves their quality of life and ensures they have access to basic necessities. Additionally, donating fosters empathy and compassion within the community. It demonstrates an understanding of the struggles faced by those in need and promotes solidarity and collective support. By participating in donations, individuals connect with those less fortunate and contribute to building stronger and more empathetic communities.

During our regular involvement in diverse activities at ETCO, we identify talented and underprivileged children. Subsequently, we actively seek out means to provide ongoing support for their education. We actively pursue partnerships, sponsorships, and donations to ensure these children have uninterrupted access to schooling, including covering fees and acquiring necessary learning materials. Our goal is to enable these students to receive an education without any hindrances, fostering their development and creating opportunities for their future.

The rapid changes occurring in society, culture, and economy are largely driven by technological advancements. The internet enables global connections and plays a crucial role in our current environment. ETCO Computer Centre provides computer education to individuals within the community. We offer computer courses for both adults and children, in addition to providing internet access services.

ETCO recognizes and respects the natural world and places great importance on maintaining a healthy environment. We mobilize members of the community to actively participate in initiatives focused on environmental conservation, such as community clean-up campaigns and tree planting activities. In addition, we raise awareness among community members about the significance of living in a clean and favorable environment. We have developed a project called Stage 1 of the Nairobi Dam Conservation Project, which entails the construction of barriers along the dam's tributaries to prevent solid waste from entering the dam. The primary objective of this project is to revive the dam and enable the reuse of its water for domestic purposes, as well as for recreational activities like water sports, sailing, swimming, and fishing, among others.

ETCO is dedicated to promoting active and healthy lifestyles within the community by organizing various sporting activities. These activities are designed to engage community members of all ages, including both children and adults, allowing them to showcase their sporting skills and talents. By providing a platform for individuals to participate in sports, ETCO aims to contribute to the reduction of crime rates and discourage substance abuse, among other social vices. Through these initiatives, ETCO is actively fostering a positive and supportive environment that encourages physical activity, personal development, and social cohesion among community members.

At ETCO, we take great pride in teaching children the art of African cultural music and dance. It brings us immense joy to witness their enjoyment and to play a part in promoting the preservation and continuation of our rich heritage. Not only do the children learn to express themselves through rhythm and movement, but they also have the opportunity to channel their thoughts and creativity through drawing and painting. We are grateful for the generous donations we have received, including traditional musical instruments and painting materials, which have played a crucial role in engaging and inspiring the children in their artistic pursuits.

ETCO strives to collaborate with institutions and business mentors to provide training and education on employability skills to community members. This initiative aims to equip individuals with the necessary skills to secure placement in diverse sectors. Additionally, we actively seek connections and facilitate access to employment opportunities. Moreover, we proactively generate job openings to contribute towards the alleviation of poverty.
