Welcoming Linda Gitau (Keke) to ETCO & Feeding Program.
On 25 May, Linda Gitau — Keke to friends — stepped into our Saturday chaos with board-member eyes and neighbour warmth. She joins ETCO as Coordinator for Charity Events; this was her first close look at what that title will mean on the ground.
Board work can live in minutes and logos; Keke stood where minutes cannot — where sauce spills on concrete and gratitude arrives without a letterhead.
With Uebert Angel Foundation and Good News Church alongside us, we served over 300 people from toddlers to elders. Plates clattered; someone's grandmother got an extra chapati wrapped in foil for the walk home.
UAF's SE Nairobi branch carried weight as usual — coordination, resources, presence. Partnerships work when titles shrink and spoons grow.
Children pressed close to see whether the visitor's shoes would survive the mud; they did, but only because Keke stepped where we stepped — slowly, carefully, like someone who intends to return.
She asked questions we like — the practical kind — about cost per plate, time to boil, where mothers wait when the line doubles back. Answers that keep charity from becoming theatre.
Keke, karibu tena. To everyone reading: we still need hands for next Saturday — message us if you can cook, serve, or simply hold a baby while a mother eats.
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.
Day of an African Child 2026
The Day of the African Child was successfully celebrated, bringing together stakeholders from Kibra and Lang’ata Constituencies in a remarkable display of unity, collaboration, and shared commitment to the well-being of children. The event highlighted the strength and impact of collective action through the partnership and dedication of member groups of the Kibera Gender Advocacy Network (KGAN), local and international organizations, government ministries, and local administration. Their combined efforts demonstrated the importance of multi-stakeholder engagement in advancing children's rights and welfare. A notable highlight of the celebration was the participation of the Kenyan Judiciary. The event was honored by the presence of the Chief Magistrate of Kibera Law Courts, Hon. Anne Mwangi, together with her team of magistrates led by Hon. Christine Njagi. They dedicated time to engage with participants, grace the occasion, and lead by example by not only planting trees but also in promoting the protection and empowerment of children.
