End-of-Year and New Year End-of-Year Reflection: As we bid farewell to 2023, we reflect on a year of collective commitment and impactful strides at ETCO. Our gratitude extends to our dedicated team, steadfast partners, and resilient communities. Community Impact: In 2023, our holistic approach to community well-being yielded significant successes. The Feeding Program alleviated food insecurity, fostering a sense of community and support. Simultaneously, our commitment to environmental care resulted in cleaner, greener spaces through tree planting and waste management initiatives. These endeavors complemented the core of our mission – the establishment of the ETCO Computer Centre, a beacon of educational empowerment bridging the digital divide. Anticipation for 2024: As we look forward to 2024, our unwavering resolve to reduce crime, foster education, and catalyze positive change propels us into a new year filled with promise and fresh opportunities. Together, let's continue shaping a future where empowerment knows no bounds. New Year Aspirations: May the coming year be adorned with moments of growth, resilience, and unbridled joy. May our joint endeavors kindle transformations that resonate far beyond our immediate reach. Here's to new beginnings, shared triumphs, and a profound impact on the lives we touch. In the spirit of unity and collaboration, ETCO wishes you a festive holiday season and a New Year adorned with prosperity, good health, and limitless opportunities. Happy New Year!

We successfully conducted our second children’s feeding program of the year. It held great significance as it marked the first feeding initiative after schools reopened following a long two-month holiday break. During this period, many children in our community faced increased challenges in accessing regular, nutritious meals due to the lack of school-provided meals. The program served as a vital lifeline, ensuring that at least 350 children, 100 elderly individuals, and 50 youths received wholesome food to start the new academic year on a positive note.​​​​‌‍​‍​‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‍​‍​‍​‍‍​‍​‍‌​‌‍​‌‌‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌​‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍​‍​‍​‍​​‍​‍‌‍‍​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‍​‍​‍​‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‍​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‍‍​‍​‍‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍​‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‌​‌‍​‌‍​‍‌‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‍​‌​‍‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌​​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‌​​‍‌‍‌‌‍‌‍‌​‌‍‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‍‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‌‌‍‌‌‌‍​​‍​​‌‌‍‌‍​​‍​‍‌​‌​​‍‌​‌​‍‌​​‍​‌​‍‌​‌​‌‍‌​​‌‍​‍​​‍‌​‍​​​‍​​​​‌​‍‌‌‍‌​​​‍​​‌​​​​‌​‌‍‌‍‌‍‌‍‌‍​‍​​‍​‌‌‍​‌​​​​‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌​​‌‍‌‌​‌‌​​‌‍‌​‌‌​​‍‌​​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍​​‌‌‍‌‌‌‍​‌‍​‌‍‌‌‌​‍‌​​‌‌​​‌‍​‍‌‍​‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‍‌‍​​‌‌‍‍​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‍‌‌​​‌​​‌​‍‌‌​​‍‌​‌‍​‍‌‌​​‍‌​‌‍‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍​‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‌​‌‍​‌‍​‍‌‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‍​‌​‍‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‌‌‍‌‌‌‍​​‍​​‌‌‍‌‍​​‍​‍‌​‌​​‍‌​‌​‍‌​​‍​‌​‍‌​‌​‌‍‌​​‌‍​‍​​‍‌​‍​​​‍​​​​‌​‍‌‌‍‌​​​‍​​‌​​​​‌​‌‍‌‍‌‍‌‍‌‍​‍​​‍​‌‌‍​‌​​​​‍‌‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌​​‌‍‌‌​‌‌​​‌‍‌​‌‌​​‍‌‍‌​​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍​​‌‌‍‌‌‌‍​‌‍​‌‍‌‌‌​‍‌​​‌‌​​‍​‍‌‌

The beginning of 2025 feels like a renewed hope for a more productive and positive year.

Yesterday was a remarkable day for ETCO as we came together to celebrate the spirit of Christmas with our community members in the informal settlements. Sharing a meal on such special occasions not only fills bellies but also warms hearts, creating moments of unity and joy. We are deeply grateful to everyone who contributed to making the day a success, from our dedicated team to our generous partners and donors. Your support allows us to extend love and care to the children, youth, and elderly we serve, reminding us all of the power of community and compassion.​​​​‌‍​‍​‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‍‍‌‌‍‍​‍​‍​‍‍​‍​‍‌​‌‍​‌‌‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌​‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‍​‍​‍​‍​​‍​‍‌‍‍​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌‍​‍​‍​‍‍​‍​‍‌‍‍​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‍‍​‍​‍‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍​‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‌​‌‍​‌‍​‍‌‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‍​‌​‍‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌​​‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‌​​‍‌‍‌‌‍‌‍‌​‌‍‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌‍‌‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‌​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‍‍​‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‌​‍‌‌‍‌‌​‍‌​​‌‌‍‌​‌‍​‌‌‍‌​​​‌​‍‌​‌​‌‍‌​​​​​​​​‍‌​‌​‌‍​‍​‌​‌‍‌‌​‍‌‌‍​‌​‌​‌​‌‍​‌​‍‌​‌‌‍​‍​‍‌​‍‌‌‍‌​​‍‌​‌​‌‌​​‍‌‍​‌​​‌‍​‍​‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌​​‌‍‌‌​‌‌​​‌‍‌​‌‌​​‍‌​​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍​​‌‌‍‌‌‌‍​‌‍​‌‍‌‌‌​‍‌​​‌‌​​‌‍​‍‌‍​‌‌​‌‍‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‍‌‍​​‌‌‍‍​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‍‌‌​​‌​​‌​‍‌‌​​‍‌​‌‍​‍‌‌​​‍‌​‌‍‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‍‌​‌‍‍‌‌‍​‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‌​‌‍​‌‍​‍‌‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‍​‌​‍‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‌​‍‌‍‌‍‍‌‌‍‌​​‌​‍‌‌‍‌‌​‍‌​​‌‌‍‌​‌‍​‌‌‍‌​​​‌​‍‌​‌​‌‍‌​​​​​​​​‍‌​‌​‌‍​‍​‌​‌‍‌‌​‍‌‌‍​‌​‌​‌​‌‍​‌​‍‌​‌‌‍​‍​‍‌​‍‌‌‍‌​​‍‌​‌​‌‌​​‍‌‍​‌​​‌‍​‍​‍‌‍‌‌​‌‍‌‌​​‌‍‌‌​‌‌​​‌‍‌​‌‌​​‍‌‍‌​​‌‍​‌‌‌​‌‍‍​​‌‌‍‌‌‌‍​‌‍​‌‍‌‌‌​‍‌​​‌‌​​‍​‍‌‌
