Feed a Kid Saturday (1st Event at our Office)
Schools are closed and the number of children at our Feed a Kid Saturday's program is growing. There is more need for life skills talks, feeding and non-food donations and children monitoring.
From about 200 kids to nearly 300. This raises the need to get as much food as we can to ensure that they never lack something to eat once they come to us. We are always grateful to our supporters both in kind, financial and referrals.
It is always so impressive and encouraging to realize that these kids are able to trace us even if we move to a new location. They never want to play very far away from ETCO Office (Our new area of operations).
This makes us happy and it's the reason why we have to be there for them.
We endeavor to reach out to relevant facilitators, donors, partners and/or sponsors to help out as much as we can.
International Women's Day 2025

The event brought together over 410 participants, highlighting the importance of gender equality, women's empowerment, and community solidarity.

Early Lunch at ETCO
Diving deeper into the year with our children feeding program, yesterday's session at ETCO was filled with warmth, laughter, and nourishment. With the dedicated efforts of our team and the new interns, we ensured that over 350 children, along with elderly and youth members of the community, received a well-prepared meal. The presence of the interns brought fresh energy and enthusiasm, giving us hope for expanded children’s activities and engagement. As we continue to grow, we remain committed to ensuring that no child in our community goes hungry, and that every Saturday is a moment of joy and connection.
