Early Lunch at ETCO
Steam lifted off the sufurias before the queue was halfway through. By mid-morning at ETCO, metal spoons clinked against plates and someone laughed too loud — the kind of laugh that means relief, not a joke.
This was another Saturday feeding: over 350 children lined up with elders and a handful of youth, everyone holding a plate or a cup as if it were a small flag. New interns moved between tables, learning names, passing chapati, getting schooled by kids who know the drill better than anyone.
School fees and rent still bite. Hunger still arrives on Tuesday when Saturday feels far away. But on days like this, the room smells of stew and soap, and the noise is a kind of proof — that people showed up, that someone cooked, that a child ate until the belly went round.
Bring ugali flour on a Saturday, or come early to help chop vegetables — the interns will show you where the knives live.
World Menstrual Hygiene Day Celebration
In celebration of Menstrual Hygiene Day, ETCO, in partnership with Rotary Club of Nairobi Connect and with support from the Safaricom Foundation, today donated 900 sanitary towels to girls at Joash Olum Primary School. This initiative was aimed at supporting the girl child by promoting menstrual dignity, boosting confidence, and helping keep girls in school so they can stay focused on their education and future careers.

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. 😊😊
