Week 46 of 2023 - Feeding Program
Week 46 arrived with the usual Saturday honesty: smoke, spoons, children comparing whose ugali broke cleaner.
Our feeding programme is the heartbeat of ETCO — joyful work, even when the economy outside feels like a tight belt. We keep inviting people in: volunteer, partner, sponsor, donor — bring your hands or your M‑PESA, bring your presence.
Some weeks are smooth; some weeks the numbers surprise us. Week 46 reminded us that community is not only the people who eat — it is the people who show up to cook, wash pots, and sweep after.
Special thanks to Kenton Price and the Capital Whiskey Club for helping last Saturday land well. Blessings to everyone who gave quietly so plates stayed full.
Holidays stretch hunger; if you can, fund a Saturday or join us in person. The children will not offer you a grant report — they will offer you trust.
Economic pressure is not a headline here; it is rent, school shoes, and the price of cooking oil. A strong Saturday does not fix everything — it keeps dignity in reach while families fight the longer battle.
Kenton and the Capital Whiskey Club helped carry part of that load — not with noise, but with support that turned into plates. That kind of partnership is how Week 46 became more than a number on a calendar.
If you missed this one, don’t worry — Saturdays return. Bring a friend, bring a question, bring your real self. The programme is not looking for perfect heroes; it is looking for faithful ones.
From Participation to Agency: ETCO at the SAIIA Youth Programming Innovation Lab
Last week, ETCO represented Kibra at the SAIIA Youth Programming Innovation Lab in Nairobi — where the real question wasn't youth participation, but youth agency. Here's what that means for our nine programmes, and an honest look at what it takes to build sustainably as a volunteer-run organisation.
