December tested our kitchen math in the best way: more children week after week—so we are planning a bigger feeding budget for next year while thanking every donor who kept programmes alive.
Inaugural Annual General Meeting (AGM)
Our first AGM brought directors, staff, and partners into one honest room: strategy for 2024, audited conversation about finances, and departmental plans grounded in community reality.
Sharing is fun
Sharing really is fun: at ETCO’s feeding programme, plates and stories pass hand to hand—turning nutrition into belonging for children who need both.
Increase in participants for the feeding program.
School holidays pushed more children to ETCO’s Saturday feeding—alongside youth and elders—reminding us that hunger does not observe the academic calendar.
Community Engagement and Clean Up - Ngong Rivers
On 20 November 2023, dialogue met shovels: community members tackled drainage, waste, and river health along the Ngong—backed by chiefs, the Green Army, and partners who believe rivers can breathe again.
Week 46 of 2023 - Feeding Program
Week 46 reminded us why Saturdays matter: volunteers, donors, and quiet well-wishers lining up so children could eat—special thanks to Kenton Price and Capital Whiskey Club.
National Tree Planting Day
Across Nyayo Highrise Ward, ETCO and partners put 350 seedlings into soil—linking neighbourhood effort to Kenya’s bold tree targets and the simple truth that Earth is home for all of us.
Let's Go ETCO
Let’s Go ETCO: Saturdays that pair hot meals with first steps on keyboards—and room to play—because holistic child development needs food, learning, and joy in one trusted place.
Care for Environment
Care for the environment is care for people: with German Embassy and UN-Habitat support, ETCO and partners walk alongside Ngong River communities—cleaning, learning, and aiming for a healthier Nairobi reservoir.
Safe Space for children.
El Niño strains Kibera: floods, fast runoff, and disease risks. ETCO’s Saturday safe space combines feeding, play, and life skills so children are seen, fed, and sheltered from harm.
Urban October.
On World Cities Day, ETCO and the Nairobi Rivers Commission gathered riverine communities at Pumwani Social Hall—policy, diplomacy, and neighbourhood voice meeting under Let The Rivers Flow.
Increased Holiday demand for ETCO
Long holidays pushed more families to ETCO’s feeding days—stretching our budgets while reinforcing why we also serve youth and elders, not only children.
Successful Weekend again
Another Saturday feeding that felt like community: volunteers, hot meals, laughter, and the quiet proof that small kindnesses stack into real change.
