Another day for ETCO to stand with it's people.
The air after a flood in Kibra smells of wet cement, paraffin, and worry. Paths narrow to balance beams between puddles; everyone knows someone who lost a mattress.
When floodwater pushes through shacks and eviction notices land on damp doors, hunger arrives wearing many faces. SDI–Kenya and ETCO moved together through Kibra with relief food — bags that weighed honest kilos, not promises.
We reached more than 500 people: families who had lost roofs, elders who cannot sprint when water rises, neighbours living with disability, anyone the community whispered should not be left behind.
Relief is a bridge, not a home. SDI committed to walking further with us — more joint distributions, more listening. That matters because the next flood will not wait for strategy papers.
We wrote names quickly because ink smudges when hands shake; we double-checked phone numbers because wrong digits waste a journey nobody can afford.
An old man leaned on a stick and accepted his bag with both hands — the small dignity of being seen as elder, not as "beneficiary" in someone's report.
If you can stock a pantry bundle or fund transport for the next round, reach out. Standing with Kibera means showing up when the cameras leave and the floors are still wet.
Day of an African Child 2026
The Day of the African Child was successfully celebrated, bringing together stakeholders from Kibra and Lang’ata Constituencies in a remarkable display of unity, collaboration, and shared commitment to the well-being of children. The event highlighted the strength and impact of collective action through the partnership and dedication of member groups of the Kibera Gender Advocacy Network (KGAN), local and international organizations, government ministries, and local administration. Their combined efforts demonstrated the importance of multi-stakeholder engagement in advancing children's rights and welfare. A notable highlight of the celebration was the participation of the Kenyan Judiciary. The event was honored by the presence of the Chief Magistrate of Kibera Law Courts, Hon. Anne Mwangi, together with her team of magistrates led by Hon. Christine Njagi. They dedicated time to engage with participants, grace the occasion, and lead by example by not only planting trees but also in promoting the protection and empowerment of children.
