Week 2 2024
January still has that new-notebook feeling — and Week 2 showed up with more children than we expected. The benches filled faster. Extra names appeared in the register in pencil, then ink.
Families are talking. Neighbours are nudging each other: “Wewe, leta mtoto.” Word has spread that Saturday is not only food; it is a place where a child is seen.
That surge is a compliment and a responsibility. It means trust. It also means we watch our stock more carefully — maize flour does not buy itself, and good intentions do not replace receipts.
We are grateful — and we are planning. More bowls means more maize flour, more greens, more hands stirring. The need is not abstract here; it walks in wearing school socks and oversized sweaters.
Volunteers have been arriving earlier, laughing off the cold morning, tying hairnets, tasting salt like a ritual. The community is answering something basic: children should not eat alone.
We are looking ahead with hope, not because the economics are easy, but because the room keeps filling with resolve. Join us this year as a volunteer or supporter; help us keep the programme steady when holidays stretch household budgets thin.
If you are far away, you can still stand with us — a transfer on M‑PESA, a monthly commitment, a message that says you remember Saturdays exist beyond your own calendar.
Week 2 is early — but early matters. It sets tone. It tells children someone noticed before the year got away from them.

It was a pleasure hosting the Nairobi Rotary Club Connect’s Yumbya Nyamai, who also represented Ecologists Without Borders (EcoWB), alongside the Kikuyu Rotary Club Presidents—past, current, and incoming—George Ngotho, Patrick, and Marion respectively.

Efforts: Inputs - Waste Management Project Strategy
Soon, just very soon. It will all make sense. Efforts, sleepless nights.... Stress, strategies, failures and minor successes... One day, I'll look back and say, Yes, I created a *System* Generation System... Me and the people I serve will be grateful... I'll be happy to have served my purpose in this world. 😊😊
