It's Saturday again
Clouds stacked over Kibera like unpaid bills, and the wind carried a chill that made jackets feel thin. Rain was not a surprise; it was a promise. Still, the cooking fire caught, and the smell of warm food cut through the damp.
Bad weather changes logistics — tarps, earlier serving times, careful footing on slick paths — but it does not change the commitment. The children’s feeding programme ran because hunger does not pause for a forecast.
Children arrived with sweaters too thin for the breeze; steam from the pot made small clouds under the shelter. Someone joked that Nairobi cold is not cold until you have stood in line holding a metal plate — then everyone laughed because it was true. We served quickly, knowing the afternoon could turn worse before dark.
Seasons will shift; Saturdays remain. If you can help cover extra charcoal on cold weeks or waterproof storage for supplies, you are strengthening something that refuses to be weather-dependent.
After eating, some children linger just to stay dry — homework scribbled on a knee, shoes lined up near the door like a small fence. We clear space because cold rain should not mean cold neglect; if you have spare sweaters in good condition, we can pass them on with dignity.
Our team shows up earlier on grey Saturdays because reliability is part of care — children should not have to guess whether lunch is real. If you want to stand with us through the cold snaps, sponsor thermoses or a bulk tea purchase; small warmth travels far.

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.
