ETCO Cyber Furnishing + Children Feeding Program
Saturday smelled like rice and beans — steam lifting from big pots, children’s voices stacking on top of each other outside the kitchen — while indoors, another kind of work was happening. Shelves went up. Cables were tucked neatly. A cyber space was taking shape, piece by piece.
ETCO believes talent should meet opportunity, not luck. Job creation, small business ideas, and care for the environment sit high on the list — not as buzzwords, but as weekly choices about where time and money go.
Outside, a child balanced a plate with both hands, sauce threatening the rim; inside, someone measured a desk and smiled because the next email sent from this room might be a job application written without begging for favours.
Feeding children, wiring a future
The cyber furnishing is donor-backed, and the plan is clear: when doors open fully, hire qualified people from the community to run it. That is how a room of computers becomes a pathway — CVs typed without travelling across town, forms filled without paying someone unkind at an internet café.
Meanwhile, the feeding numbers keep growing. For now, Saturdays mean rice and beans — honest food, served hot. We are honest too: a rotating menu needs a steady sponsor. Until that comes, we give what we have, and the children eat like it is a feast.
If you want to fund a month of githeri days, ugali days, or fruit on the side, reach out — your M-PESA can turn into plates that do not lie about what community care looks like.

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.
