It had been a bruising week — roads blocked, shops shuttered early, parents calculating whether fare or food would win. Children notice when voices rise at home; they eat in silence sometimes.
Saturday at ETCO is for children and the elderly: softer portions, easy chewing, a place to sit without being rushed. Lately the numbers have climbed — not dramatically on a spreadsheet, but visibly in the queue, where adults stand beside children in equal measure.
We are honest: we cannot promise a fix for the economy. We can promise a hot meal, dignity in the asking, and volunteers who remember names.
Thank you to everyone who has sent money, maize, time — you are why the pots still boil. If you want to join as a monthly supporter, volunteer, or partner, start at etco-kenya.org; we will show you exactly what your KSh buys.
