Merry Christmas 2023
Christmas morning in Kibera sounds like chapati decisions, distant music, and someone calling a child who is already halfway down the lane. At ETCO, we added another sound: spoons against plates, chairs scraping concrete, the soft rush of a crowd becoming a family for a few hours.
We gathered for a meal — not because Christmas is only food, but because food is how we say, “You belong here.” Elders ate slowly. Children saved sweets for later. Someone’s uncle told a joke too loud and nobody minded.
The lane outside still had its usual hustle — sukumu sellers, boda bodas, someone arguing about a misplaced shoe — but inside our circle, the day slowed. Plastic cups clinked. A toddler fell asleep mid-bite.
Christmas is many things in many homes. Here, it was also a reminder that joy does not require a perfect stage — just a table brave enough to grow.
If you were with us in spirit, you were part of that warmth. If you want next year’s table to stretch wider, stand with ETCO — your giving turns a special day into a pattern of care.
However you marked the day — in church, at home, or working a double shift — we hope you tasted a little peace. We will be here again when the music fades and the pots return to ordinary Tuesdays.

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.
