Week 13 - Children Feeding Program
Cold season crept in — morning mist on corrugated roofs, children in sweaters with elbows worn shiny. The feeding programme did not pause for weather; hunger does not check the forecast, and Saturdays stay fixed on the calendar even when the air stings and breath shows white for a second before vanishing.
What moves us is trust earned in weeks: a child arriving because she knows Saturday at ETCO means something — maybe a lesson, maybe a song, maybe a life skill slipped inside a game — and always something warm to eat before she walks home through air that bites her ears, scarf tugged tight, sandals slapping stone.
We are grateful to donors, sponsors, and partners who keep the fire lit and the accounting honest. Cold hands still reach for spoons because your support translates into sacks and stoves — not applause, but lunch, counted bowl by bowl, Saturday after Saturday.
Someone blew on their fingers before wrapping them around a metal mug of tea — small heat held between palms. Children compared sweaters, trading jokes about whose grandmother knits tighter, whose cuffs still scratch, whose colour faded first.
Trust shows up as routine: the same day, the same doorway, adults who remember names even when uniforms change. If you want to fund a month of Saturdays, ask us for a simple budget; we will break it down to the shilling, line by line, because cold mornings deserve honest numbers and children deserve to plan on warmth they can count.

FLOOD SUPPORT APPEAL – KIBERA
Heavy rains brought flooding to Kibera’s riparian areas—destroying homes, claiming lives, and leaving families in urgent need. ETCO appeals to well-wishers for food, clothing, bedding, medical support, and other basics, while urging everyone to stay safe around fast water and contamination risks.
