A successful day it is - Sports and children feeding program.
Dust rose at every turn — a child stopping a ball with his chest, another laughing as she missed a pass and chased it into laughter anyway. Soccer at Undugu Grounds is not pristine grass; it is packed earth, scraped knees, and pure stubborn joy, the kind that does not ask for a perfect pitch.
When whistles faded, we walked back toward the ETCO office where rice steamed and stew thickened. Adults and children shared benches, passing plates the way families do — not because we are naive about Kibera’s strains, but because sharing food still builds something sturdy between strangers who just defended the same dusty goal.
Sport loosens the body; a meal steadies it. Together they make a day feel whole — sweat first, then salt, then the slow return of breath. We are proud of everyone who played fair, served patiently, and washed pots when the glamour was gone, because that is where community actually shows.
We invite donors, partners, and sponsors to walk beside us for the next event — not as distant logos, but as people who help buy balls, beans, and the diesel that keeps the kitchen running.
Someone tied torn kitenge into armbands so teams could tell friend from friend in the dust. It looked small until the match tightened and bodies leaned shoulder to shoulder — then you remembered why colour matters in a crowd.
Message ETCO if you want a clear budget line; we will show you where your KSh lands.

FLOOD SUPPORT APPEAL – KIBERA
Heavy rains brought flooding to Kibera’s riparian areas—destroying homes, claiming lives, and leaving families in urgent need. ETCO appeals to well-wishers for food, clothing, bedding, medical support, and other basics, while urging everyone to stay safe around fast water and contamination risks.
