Week 23
The kitchen crew arrived early and doubled the onions — not because we planned drama, but because the line told us to. We are used to feeding heavy on the children’s side and lighter on adults; this Saturday the numbers met in the middle like a handshake.
Call it roughly 350 children and 150 adults on a typical week; today looked almost even — parents out of work that month, caregivers, young men waiting for a hustle to land. Hunger does not ask for ID.
Sharing a meal is a simple phrase; doing it when flour prices sting is courage. Thank you to everyone who sent KSh, vegetables, kind words — we saw it in the extra ladle of stew we could afford.
If you can increase your monthly gift while this spike lasts, message etco-kenya.org; we publish what we spend and where the gap sits.

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.
