Good News by Uebert Angel Foundation (UAF)
Week 16 of 2024 arrived quietly—another Saturday, another queue of children, another pot on the fire—but for us it still felt like grace. The children feeding programme has become more than meals; it is a rhythm the community leans on when the week has been long and money has not stretched.
Hosting Uebert Angel Foundation (UAF) at ETCO was an honour. There was laughter, singing, and the kind of attention children remember: adults who knelt to their height, listened, and shared hope without rushing. Sharing the word with the kids was a blessing—not as a performance, but as presence.
We deeply appreciate volunteers, donors, partners, and sponsors—those who give monthly and those who show up once with a full heart. Words cannot fully capture the joy, fun, and learning packed into that visit, but the faces in the photographs tell the truth.
We left spiritually and physically full—grateful for partners who strengthen our resolve to work harder, not slower. When visits like this happen, they do not replace the daily grind of feeding programme logistics; they fuel it.
We are looking forward to what comes next in this partnership—and to more Saturdays where a plate of food is served with joy, not shame. Your presence will always be welcome at ETCO.
If you want to walk with us beyond one visit—whether through monthly giving, volunteering, or simply telling a friend what happens here—those threads are what keep a programme from becoming a memory.
Thank you for seeing Kibera’s children as worth your time. That recognition lingers longer than any single meal.
Engaging Children through Feeding Program
Thanks to Chris and Jayne, ETCO had a warm feeding program for children at our new office—bringing joy, a good meal, and community together in Kibera.
Project Site Visit by Rotary Club of IPSWICH (USA) and Kikuyu (Kenya)
It was a great and engaging day of partnership and learning as we hosted the International Rotary Club of IPSWICH team, led by Environmental Lawyer Chris and his wife, Jane, Former President of Rotary Club of Kikuyu Hon. George Ngotho and Rotarian Yumbya for a visit to our project implementation sites. The visit provided an opportunity to review the project areas on the ground, discuss implementation priorities, and strengthen our shared commitment to sustainable environmental and community development. We also had the opportunity to visit the Nairobi Rivers Commission (NRC), where we were hosted by Commissioner Dr. Loice Kipkorir, a member of the Ngong River Committee. We explored opportunities to strengthen collaboration and align our work with the Nairobi Rivers Commission's Restoration Framework.
Community Capacity Building Training
We are currently participating in the ongoing PROVE (Public Space Governance Research, Observation, Validation and Experimentation) Pilot Programme, a four-month initiative by Public Space Networks (PSN) bringing together 11 community groups from Kamukunji and Korogocho. The programme focuses on strengthening community organizations’ capacity to manage, protect and improve public spaces as well as restoring rivers and it's ecosystems. The ongoing capacity-building training is helping CBOs and community organizations better understand the connection between public spaces, river restoration and ecosystem conservation, while exploring practical approaches and stronger collaboration among communities, government agencies, development partners and other stakeholders.
