Week 10 - Children Feeding Program
By mid-morning on Saturday, the line outside ETCO already snakes past the usual mark. You would expect the crowd to thin once schools reopen — uniforms on weekdays, homework in the evening — but the numbers keep climbing anyway. Children show up in twos and threes, some still dusty from play, others quiet with hunger that does not follow a school calendar.
We dish githeri and ugali the same way we always have: one plate at a time, no favouritism, no sermon — just the steady work of making sure nobody leaves on an empty stomach. On a hot day the steam rises from the pots and mixes with dust from the path; someone jokes, someone prays under their breath, and the queue inches forward.
Every plate matters
We are honest: we do not always know whether a child missed breakfast, skipped lunch, or simply heard from a friend that Saturday at ETCO means a full meal. What we do know is that the need does not pause because term time has started. Because supporters send what they can — sometimes via M-PESA, sometimes through a friend who passes by with sacks of maize — we can keep adjusting pots and portions instead of turning young people away.
If you have walked with us before, thank you. If you can chip in again this week, you are not buying a slogan — you are buying time, heat, and enough food that a child can sit down, eat, and walk home with a little more strength for whatever Monday brings.

Happy Father's Day
As a man. It's Okay to start all over again. Let someone love you correctly, genuinely, value you and respectfully if they have to. Somewhere in your 30s, 40s or 50s, you'll get the opportunity to rebuild your life after a negative loop. It's important you see that journey through. Keep going and don't ever give up. Strong.
