Mid-May brought a joyful problem: so many children came that our doorway filled. We stretched portions with care and gave thanks—for trust, for donors, for a community that keeps showing up.
Happy New Month
A new month begins with the same promise: children deserve a safe space, a warm meal, and adults who keep showing up. ETCO thanks everyone who makes that possible.
We are happy to see them happy...
After schools closed, children learned our rhythm: play by the kitchen, then eat together. Numbers grew, joy grew—and we remain grateful to donors who make weekends reliable.
Kibera Rugby Academy - Junior Rugby
Rugby belongs in Kibera too. ETCO is building junior rugby with core values—plus shirts from friends and encouragement from Kenya Rugby Union—while working to feed athletes after hard training.
Feed a Kid Saturday (1st Event at our Office)
Our first major Saturday at the office showed the truth: need is rising. From roughly two hundred children toward three hundred, we need more food, mentors, and calm systems—while celebrating kids who find us even when we move.
Feed a Kid Saturday
School holidays increased need—and opportunity. Two hundred fifty-seven children joined ETCO for age-group games, creative coaching, and a lunch that keeps bodies ready to learn and play.
Imaginations spoken loudly
Art is imagination made visible—dance, drawing, music, story. ETCO’s Art Centre opens doors for informal-settlement talent to grow skills, showcase work, and pursue opportunity.
ETCO THEATRE
Theatre educates, entertains, and moves people. ETCO is building theatre and film pathways from Kibera outward—because talent should not need a university gate to begin.
Meeting The PS - Ministry of ICT, Innovation and Youth Affairs, State Department For Youths
At Kencom House, ETCO met PS Julius Korir to explore sustainable development for informal settlements—peace through sport, business empowerment for youth, and government partnership with community-led organisations.
Feed A Kid
Feed A Kid is Children Empowerment in motion: Saturdays with life skills, talent spotting, honest conversation, and food—because empty stomachs cancel almost every other goal.
ETCO Office
Our Kibera office anchors every programme—from Soweto East we coordinate feeding, youth work, and a growing cyber space aimed at self-sustainability and shared rent responsibility.
ETCO Acrobats Using Street Performance for Community Sensitization activities
Crowds gather for flips and theatre—then stay for the message. ETCO’s acrobats carried COVID-19 sensitisation through Kibera and beyond, turning street art into public health dialogue.
Food and Non-Food Donations
Donations are more than boxes—they are dignity. With community health volunteers, ETCO targeted vulnerable households and paired relief with teaching and sensitisation.
