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.

FLOOD SUPPORT APPEAL – KIBERA
Heavy rains brought flooding to Kibera’s riparian areas—destroying homes, claiming lives, and leaving families in urgent need. ETCO appeals to well-wishers for food, clothing, bedding, medical support, and other basics, while urging everyone to stay safe around fast water and contamination risks.
