2nd children feeding program for 2025
School bells had barely settled when the pots at ETCO started singing again. After two months at home, many families had stretched githeri and ugali until the math stopped working — no lunch from school, more mouths in the house all day.
This was our second children’s feeding Saturday of the year: at least 350 children, 100 elderly neighbours, and 50 youth handed plates of hot food before the term picked up speed. The queue snaked past the door and into the sun; shoes shuffled, someone carried a baby on a hip, an elder leaned on a stick and still smiled when the plate came full.
We are honest — one meal does not erase structural poverty. It does give a child a full stomach on the way back to class, and elders a morning when sugar does not have to be traded for soap.
Help us stock the next Saturday: M-PESA details are on our notice board, and bulk maize flour from a shop in town saves us the markup at the corner.
World Menstrual Hygiene Day Celebration
In celebration of Menstrual Hygiene Day, ETCO, in partnership with Rotary Club of Nairobi Connect and with support from the Safaricom Foundation, today donated 900 sanitary towels to girls at Joash Olum Primary School. This initiative was aimed at supporting the girl child by promoting menstrual dignity, boosting confidence, and helping keep girls in school so they can stay focused on their education and future careers.

Efforts: Inputs - Waste Management Project Strategy
Soon, just very soon. It will all make sense. Efforts, sleepless nights.... Stress, strategies, failures and minor successes... One day, I'll look back and say, Yes, I created a *System* Generation System... Me and the people I serve will be grateful... I'll be happy to have served my purpose in this world. 😊😊
