Bad Day... Fire Tragedy.
Smoke still clings to people’s clothes two days later. Near Soweto East Resource Centre, a fire tore through homes and left at least fifty households without roofs — without folded clothes, without sacks of maize pushed to the corner for the week, without the thin certainties that keep a week from unraveling.
ETCO went to sit with neighbours in that shock — to listen, to share what we could, and to help channel relief. Donations began arriving: blankets, utensils, cash sent by M-PESA that turned into soap and sugar at the kiosk. For sure they are going a long way.
Recovery does not finish when the headlines move on. If you can give today, please do — relief is a chain of small yeses until families find footing again.

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.
