Always thankful.
Today the compound felt fuller—more children in line, more laughter bouncing off the walls, more elders finding a seat in the shade. Saturdays at ETCO are loud in the best way: a place where hunger is not hidden, and help is not handed out with shame.
We gather in Kibera with roughly 350 children, about 50 youth, and around 100 elderly neighbours—not only to eat, but to play, draw, sing, and learn before the meal. It is a deliberate rhythm: keep young people busy with football and art, keep conversations going, keep bellies full at the end.
What it costs—and how to help
None of that happens free. On a lean budget—about KSh 16,500 a week for supplies—we stretch every coin until it feeds as many mouths as it can. When money is short, the programme still hurts first: the price of beans rises, fuel for cooking shifts, and someone goes home with a smaller portion than we wanted to give.
If you want to stand with us, you can give via M-PESA or PayPal. A small weekly gift is the difference between a child eating once on Saturday and going home knowing Monday still looks impossible. We are always thankful—because gratitude is how we honour the people who keep showing up.
Message us on +254718783190 if you want to coordinate a drop-off, sponsor a week, or volunteer where your hands fit best. Today’s bigger turnout is not luck—it is proof that when a community eats together, it grows braver together.

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.
