Happy New Year 2025 to you all
Fireworks lit someone else’s sky on TV, but in Kibera the new year arrived with church drums, a few loud speakers, and the quiet decision to try again. At ETCO, January smells of paraffin and fresh exercise books — the same mix as hope and worry.
Our children’s feeding program has become the heartbeat many people know us by: Saturdays when pots clang, children line up, and someone gets a meal who might have skipped breakfast. It is not only food — it is a place where a child is called by name and an elder is offered a chair.
2025 will ask hard questions — rent, health, school fees in KSh that never shrink. We enter the year with our hands open: for partners who can give, for volunteers who can peel potatoes, for anyone who believes a child should not start the week hungry.
Resolve one practical thing this month — a bag of maize, a Saturday morning — and walk it through our gate.

FLOOD SUPPORT APPEAL – KIBERA
Heavy rains brought flooding to Kibera’s riparian areas—destroying homes, claiming lives, and leaving families in urgent need. ETCO appeals to well-wishers for food, clothing, bedding, medical support, and other basics, while urging everyone to stay safe around fast water and contamination risks.
