Blessed weekend.
Saturday arrives with the smell of soap, the noise of chairs scraping, and children calling greetings across the compound. For many families, this weekly feeding programme is the meal they can count on—not because life is easy, but because neighbours and strangers have decided it should exist.
Plates go out. Someone jokes. A teenager helps a smaller child balance a tray. In the middle of Kibera’s noise, there is a pocket of order: food served with respect, seconds when we can, and gratitude that does not need a microphone.
ETCO does not do this alone. Donors who send M-PESA, partners who show up with bags of beans, volunteers who chop onions until their eyes sting—this is your blessing too. Every week it holds, a child walks home with warmth in their stomach and a little more hope in their step.
We are grateful because the programme is not guaranteed by speeches; it is guaranteed by people choosing generosity again and again. If you have ever given, you have been part of a Saturday that felt ordinary to the world and holy to a hungry child.
If you want to join us next week—whether with beans, rice, cooking oil, or a few hundred shillings on M-PESA—ask what we are short of and we will answer honestly. A blessed weekend is not magic; it is preparation meeting need.
See you on the next Saturday—same compound, same stubborn hope, same belief that a shared meal can steady a whole week.
Bring a friend if you can; the queue is long, but the welcome is longer.

Efforts: Inputs - Waste Management Project Strategy
Soon, just very soon. It will all make sense. Efforts, sleepless nights.... Stress, strategies, failures and minor successes... One day, I'll look back and say, Yes, I created a *System* Generation System... Me and the people I serve will be grateful... I'll be happy to have served my purpose in this world. 😊😊
