Let's Go ETCO
Let’s go — two words you hear when a queue is moving and nobody wants to lose the momentum. This Saturday had that energy: plates first, then curiosity.
Children ate well — real food, not a story about food — then leaned forward at screens at the ETCO Computer Centre, learning clicks that open doors. Later, games spilled laughter into the corridor: competition without cruelty, joy without a budget line for it.
You could see it in their faces — the shift from “I am hungry” to “I am learning,” without anyone making a speech about empowerment. The room did the talking.
That is the kind of Saturday we want repeated — body fed, mind stretched, spirit lighter. We are still here because the community keeps meeting us halfway.
Come volunteer, send support, or tell one friend what ETCO does on Saturdays. The next child through the gate might be the one who remembers the day someone taught her to log in.
Digital skills are not magic; they are doors. And a child who has eaten first can concentrate long enough for a door to matter.
So let’s go — again next Saturday — because momentum is not motivation alone; it is meals prepared, cables plugged in, and adults stubborn enough to believe both belong in the same morning.
Tell someone what you read here. Sometimes the simplest advocacy is a forwarded message that becomes a donation, a volunteer, a child’s first afternoon without an empty stomach.
That is the ETCO rhythm — practical, weekly, human.
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.
Day of an African Child 2026
The Day of the African Child was successfully celebrated, bringing together stakeholders from Kibra and Lang’ata Constituencies in a remarkable display of unity, collaboration, and shared commitment to the well-being of children. The event highlighted the strength and impact of collective action through the partnership and dedication of member groups of the Kibera Gender Advocacy Network (KGAN), local and international organizations, government ministries, and local administration. Their combined efforts demonstrated the importance of multi-stakeholder engagement in advancing children's rights and welfare. A notable highlight of the celebration was the participation of the Kenyan Judiciary. The event was honored by the presence of the Chief Magistrate of Kibera Law Courts, Hon. Anne Mwangi, together with her team of magistrates led by Hon. Christine Njagi. They dedicated time to engage with participants, grace the occasion, and lead by example by not only planting trees but also in promoting the protection and empowerment of children.
