Happy for partnerships
Last Saturday, the pots were on early. Steam rose above plastic chairs as children filed in for githeri, greens, and whatever the kitchen could stretch — the ordinary miracle of a meal when the week has been thin.
Spoons scraped metal bowls; a little girl debated whether her neighbour got more beans — small arguments that only happen when bellies are actually full.
ETCO did not do it alone. The Uebert Angel Foundation and The GOOD News stood beside us, ladling and laughing, making sure seconds found the smallest plates first. In Kibera, partnership is not a slogan on a banner; it is someone choosing your queue before their own meeting.
We keep saying thank you because the need does not take a holiday. Each week more families knock; each week we try to answer without turning children away. That rhythm is only possible when friends refuse to drift.
If you have ever shared ugali from one pot with cousins you did not choose, you know what this feels like — crowded, imperfect, and somehow enough for the moment.
A volunteer wiped a child's chin with the edge of her leso; the child giggled, beans stuck to their teeth — the kind of beauty budgets never line-item.
Want to help keep Saturdays honest? Send support through channels we publish on our pages, or volunteer to serve. A bowl of food is a small thing until you are the child receiving it — then it is the whole afternoon.
Kikuyu Rotary Club Team site visit - partnership
It was a pleasure hosting the Nairobi Rotary Club Connect’s Yumbya Nyamai, who also represented Ecologists Without Borders (EcoWB), alongside the Kikuyu Rotary Club Presidents—past, current, and incoming—George Ngotho, Patrick, and Marion respectively. We truly appreciated your visit to the site and your interest in the upcoming waste management project.
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. 😊😊
🌍 World Earth Day Highlights
We had an incredible time commemorating World Earth Day alongside amazing partners and community champions. It was a pleasure connecting with the Peace Pulse 254 team—Mr. Patrick, Madam Grace, and Mr. Immanuel—as well as the Nairobi Rivers Commission (NRC), led by Community Lead Commissioner Madam Eva Muhia.
