We receive and give out donations to the most vulnerable members of the informal settlement communities.

In 2020, we served over 6,000 people with the foods and non-food items we received as away of cushioning them against the hard economic times presented by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many people were laid off work hence lacking opportunities to work and earn a living as most of the informal settlements community dwellers do hand to mouth jobs (they spend nearly all they work for in a day and can barely save) and most of them have young families with an average size of 3 people per family.

We properly do our community survey of the most vulnerable people through the help of our Community Health Volunteers (CHVs), who do a door to door

We are always grateful to our donors and supporters for every donation channeled our way. Your support really goes a long way!!!!

We always have a session with the community members just before the donations are given out to pass a message; either to teach, learn/discuss or to sensitize them.

Service to Humanity

Service to humanity is at the core of ETCO's mission. We extended a helping hand to the flood victims in Nyayo Highrise Ward, Lang'ata Constituency, particularly in the Andolo and Russia areas. The impact of the floods has been devastating, with many people displaced, properties destroyed, and lives lost. Despite the challenges, we are grateful for the overwhelming support from individuals and organizations standing with us in aiding the flood victims in Kibera through ETCO.
