KITO visits ETCO
Dr Asma welcomed guests at the ETCO office in Kibera, Soweto East — the KITO team led by Dr Marcus Harbord and Fabio Divac — and the room filled with maps of needs, not theories. They talked plainly about children in Kenya: how a free, reliable symptoms checker paired with tailored medical advice could reach parents who cannot afford a wrong guess on a feverish night.
It was a good interaction — respectful, specific, forward-looking — and we hope it grows into future partnership. Technology only matters when it meets real mothers, real temperatures, real bus fares to clinic.
KITO, you are most welcome back — and to anyone building health tools for low-resource settings, introduce yourself. We will tell you what life looks like from this side of the city.

From Participation to Agency: ETCO at the SAIIA Youth Programming Innovation Lab

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.
