"If you cant feed 100 people, just feed one child...."
Some families in Kibera do not lack love. They lack margin — a few hundred bob that disappears between rent, medicine, and a child asking for an extra book at school. When the month tightens, food is the first thing that gets negotiated in silence.
We keep Saturdays simple on purpose: rice, beans, a safe place to be. We cannot solve every reason hunger exists — fragile roads in other counties, conflict far away, climate shifting seasons — but we can name what we see here: unemployment that bites, stress that turns into quarrels, young people asked to be adults too early.
In Kibera, a bad week shows up in skipped meals before it shows up in headlines. That is why one child fed today still matters — it is not the whole solution, but it is a true thing in a week full of half-truths.
If you cannot feed a hundred people, feed one child — then another next week. Scale is not always a crowd; sometimes it is faithfulness. A donor who sends KSh 500 regularly does more than a headline that forgets by Tuesday.
We are not comparing Kibera to every crisis on the map — we are saying hunger has local faces: a boda rider whose client cancelled, a widow whose casual job ended, a teenager carrying marks that do not match their hunger. Your help lands in those specific stories.
Walk with us from one plate outward. That is how a neighbourhood learns it can carry its own children — not perfectly, but honestly.
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.
