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.

From Participation to Agency: ETCO at the SAIIA Youth Programming Innovation Lab
Last week, ETCO represented Kibra at the SAIIA Youth Programming Innovation Lab in Nairobi — where the real question wasn't youth participation, but youth agency. Here's what that means for our nine programmes, and an honest look at what it takes to build sustainably as a volunteer-run organisation.
