Safe Space for children.
The impacts of El Nino are starting to affect the Kibera informal settlement. Schools are closed, making it important to monitor where children are spending their time and what activities they are engaged in. The major hazards they face include flooded waters, fast-moving water run-offs, and streams, in addition to waterborne diseases and malaria.
ETCO has established a safe space for children every Saturday, offering various activities to keep them occupied. One of our primary initiatives is the children's feeding program, which we conduct every Saturday. This program not only keeps the children engaged while waiting for their meal but also ensures they are well-fed, providing hope to those who might otherwise go without a meal that day. The children also interact and play with each other, improving their social skills. Some of them even assist in food preparation, allowing them to acquire valuable cooking skills and other life values.
We extend our gratitude to those who support and sustain this program. May you be blessed abundantly.
