ETCO Office
Find us fifty metres to the right of Cultures Road, off Jesus Winners Road — Kibera, Soweto East Village, Nyayo Highrise Ward, Lang’ata Constituency, Nairobi. Look for the lane where children know the shortcut and adults know the rent schedule.
Directions sound like poetry until you are ankle-deep in mud. Follow the painted sign, ask the mama selling soap — she will point. Our door is where programmes become paperwork and paperwork becomes people again.
We began with one rented room — a desk, a dream, a wall calendar crowded with community meetings. After PS Julius Korir and his team visited, the need for a business room became clearer: sustainability is not a poster; it is a till that rings.
Today we rent two rooms. One holds office work — programmes, letters, the hum of planning. The other hosts a cyber project: keyboards, careful pricing per minute, young people learning to send CVs without fear.
The cyber room clicks and hums: printers warming up, teenagers learning to attach a PDF without shame, a volunteer explaining how “CC” works on an email because nobody should be locked out of a job for lack of jargon.
We fundraise among ourselves for rent because dignity includes paying landlords on time. If you want to visit, bring curiosity, not pity. If you want to support, help us keep the lights on and the modems warm — connectivity is a small word for a large door.
Rent in Kibera is not abstract; it is a line on a wall calendar and a quiet panic on the 28th. A second room was not vanity — it was a bet on income that stays inside the community.

Happy Father's Day
As a man. It's Okay to start all over again. Let someone love you correctly, genuinely, value you and respectfully if they have to. Somewhere in your 30s, 40s or 50s, you'll get the opportunity to rebuild your life after a negative loop. It's important you see that journey through. Keep going and don't ever give up. Strong.
