Gratitude for Feeding Support
There was a week when we were not sure the pots would be full. Not because we lacked heart — heart is never the missing ingredient in Kibera — but because beans and maize still cost real KSh, and children do not eat intentions.
Today we can say it plainly: people showed up. The feeding programme has become our front-line work — the place where strangers become neighbours because they share a queue and a plastic spoon. We give not because we sit on abundance, but because we know the quiet shame of an empty cupboard.
It is remarkable what a regular meal makes possible. While smoke climbed from the kitchen, children drifted into games and drawing. Adults clustered in the shade, trading stories about rent, health, school fees — the ordinary weight of a week. The food gave the hour a centre; the conversation gave it meaning, and for a short while the week’s math felt less cruel.
We are grateful — to contributors who send support through M-PESA and to partners who trust us with logistics.
A mother arrived with two toddlers and a thin shawl; she ate slowly, as if proving to her body that today would hold.
If you have ever wondered whether your donation is too small, come stand by the pot. We will show you exactly what it becomes — grams on a scale, bowls counted, children sent home with something warm lining their stomachs — and you will hear the ordinary noise of relief.
Ngong River Regeneration Network - Zone (1-6)
The Ngong River Regeneration Network Zone Coordinators (Zones 1–6) held a productive meeting with the Commissioners representing the Ngong River, chaired by Commissioner Benjamin Langwen, alongside Commissioners John Kioli and Dr. Loice Jepkemboi Kipkiror, together with Inspector Ashford - NRC Secretariat. The meeting was highly engaging and inspiring, leaving us even more energized and committed to advancing the river restoration agenda. Together, we reaffirmed our shared commitment to not only regenerating our rivers, but also promoting a cleaner environment, encouraging food production through downstream farming, and creating sustainable job opportunities through riverine activities. #NgongRiverRestoration #NairobiRivers #EnvironmentalConservation #RiverRegeneration #ClimateAction #CommunityEmpowerment #GreenJobs
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.
