Feed a Kid Saturday
School closure did not pause childhood; it concentrated it in the lanes. At home, idle hours can become risk — so we pack Saturdays with motion and voice.
Rain on iron sheets sounds louder when there is nowhere else to be. Mothers negotiate chores; older boys drift toward corners where trouble also waits. We want Saturdays to feel like a magnet — something bright enough to pull a week toward hope.
Registration is informal but real: we count heads because counting is care. Two hundred and fifty-seven is a photograph of need — not to guilt donors, but to plan pots.
On this Saturday, 257 children moved through games matched to age — little ones chasing laughter in one corner, older ones testing rules in another.
Facilitators spoke to them plainly — about choices, about bodies, about the dignity of saying no. Trainers pulled them into dance, song, drama, modelling, acrobatics — art as oxygen.
At lunch, the hall changed key: spoons on metal, the soft steam of stew, the quiet that comes when stomachs finally stop asking questions.
Someone always tries seconds; someone always hides a little for a sibling at home. We see it. We do not scold hunger — we measure it so the next Saturday can answer more honestly.
Food is not an afterthought to the programme; it is part of the lesson — energy for focus, strength for next week. If you want to sponsor a Saturday ingredient run or volunteer a skill, write to us. Saturdays belong to the children; we only hold the door.

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.
