Goodness of partnership
On 29 June, the yard filled the way a church fills on a wedding day — not with flowers, but with people. More than 380 neighbours lined up: toddlers on hips, teenagers in school sweaters, mzee in a warm coat even though Nairobi sun was doing its best.
The queue snaked past motorcycles and washing lines — a living map of Kibra, young and old leaning on each other because standing still for long hurts the knees.
ETCO, the Uebert Angel Foundation, and Good News Church set the tables. UAF's SE Nairobi branch carried a heavy share of the load, and we felt it — in bags of food, in transport, in the calm voice that says, we are still here.
Feeding is never only calories. It is a mother who can walk home without calculating every coin. It is a grandfather who gets tea with his bread. It is proof that the city has not forgotten Kibra.
Someone hummed a gospel chorus while stacking empty crates; someone else argued gently about whether to add an extra sack of maize next week. Ordinary debates — the sound of people planning beyond survival.
Rain threatened once; we prayed it would hold until the last sack left the yard — not because we fear water, but because cardboard boxes and hungry queues do not mix.
We are grateful, and we are hungry for more Saturdays like this — not because hunger is good, but because love must become habit. If your church, company, or family wants to sponsor a week, reach out. We will put names and faces to every shilling.

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.
