Youth leaders from Nyayo Highrise, Mugumu-ini, Karen, South C, and Nairobi West met Hon. Oduk Oginga Oduk under ETCO’s umbrella to plan how young people across Lang’ata can access seed funding, networks, and teamwork for sustainable projects.
Art: African Cultural Music and Dance
With support from Joseph Tako and our board, ETCO invested in traditional instruments so children can learn African cultural music and dance while they wait for Saturday meals—building talent, pride, and CBC-ready skills.
Week 4 Children Feeding Program
Week 4 showed how much children love Saturdays at ETCO—even with schools open—while we prepared to launch our African cultural dance and music programme to keep weekends creative and safe.
Week 3 Children Feeding Progam
The year was still young, but Week 3 already brought over 500 children and adults—far beyond our usual Saturday floor—grateful to everyone who gives so this feeding programme stays generous.
Busy but Productive Week 2
Week 2 blended construction progress—computer desks and a counter at the ETCO Computer Centre—with another joyful Saturday alongside children who remind us why presence matters.
Computer Centre Work in Progress
We are building the Computer Centre as both a learning hub and a sustainability pillar—grateful to Willow Oak Advisory for donating computers so feeding, arts, and education can keep strengthening Kibera.
Beginning with love
The first weekend of the year brought play, shared meals, and childhood friendships—grateful to donors who keep programmes running when household budgets are tight everywhere.
ETCO Computer Centre Set Up
The ETCO Computer Centre is almost ready for Highrise neighbours—starting with a term of free, structured computer lessons for a defined group of children by age and class.
50th Week, 2022
Two weeks left in 2022: we shared meals, reflected on the year, and sketched bigger plans—including Cultural Music and Dance and an Art Programme aligned with Kenya’s CBC.
2nd Week Of Festive Season
Holiday Saturdays swelled from 200 to 406 people—parents hustling, children safe at ETCO—while we prepared African cultural music, art, and the Computer Centre launch.
Ultimate care and affection
Feeding someone is one of the deepest acts of care—sharing yourself through food—an idea ETCO lives out each week with children and neighbours in Kibera.
Visitors
Mgeni njoo, mwenyeji apone—visitors heal the host. At ETCO we welcome local and international guests who bring joy, and we are especially grateful when they come understanding our work and bearing gifts that multiply impact.
Grateful for the rains and food too
Cold mornings and evening rains did not stop our gatherings—we played, learned, and ate together, nurturing confidence and social skills through wet-season routines.
