The second weekend after schools have shut down, we find joy in spending ample time with these kids, engaging in learning, enjoyable games, and sharing meals.
Keeping them engaged during holidays
With schools being closed, our focus shifts to keeping kids engaged through a variety of activities such as sports, acting, music, dance, drawing, and social skills. During these holidays, we see more children participating in our feeding program, and today's session highlighted this trend. Your support in keeping this program alive is greatly appreciated, and we encourage those willing and able to contribute positively to these children's lives to join us.
1st ETCO Trip for Kids - Nairobi National Museum
Exposure plays a crucial role in human development, offering them practical knowledge through their senses like sight, smell, touch, hearing, and taste. ETCO is organized a trip to Nairobi National Museum today, for 30 children below 9 < 16 years of age. Food and transportation was provided.
Cold day and sweet warm lunch
No matter how chilly the weather was today, we made certain that our kitchen/office/store was sufficiently heated to prepare a meal for the kids. We take great delight in sharing lunch with the children in our community, as it brings us joy to witness them eating heartily and enjoying their social interactions, alongside other programs provided by ETCO before the meal.
Children Feeding Program continues
During this period of recuperation from the nationwide protests over the rising living expenses, it remains crucial to ensure that people, especially children, have access to food. That's why at ETCO, we have taken on the responsibility of organizing a children's feeding program every Saturday.
Rays of hope & tough economic times
After a tumultuous week for both children and parents, ETCO holds a children/elderly feeding program every Saturday to address the challenges they are facing. The ongoing weekday protests have significantly impacted parents' ability to provide sufficient support for their families, especially in these tough economic times.

Today, we were visited by Prof. Sang David from Maseno University's School of Public Health and Environmental Science. We discussed the importance of creating a thriving community by ensuring a clean, comfortable, and productive environment for everyone throughout the country. We emphasized the need for collaboration to achieve the goals of our organization. Additionally, we carried out our regular Saturday program, which involved feeding children and teaching them important life skills.
Week 27 - Cold and Productive
Despite the frigid weather in Nairobi, both parents and children are going about their usual routines. The parents are focused on working, while the children are engaged in play, especially for those who haven't attended school or tuition centers. ETCO, on the other hand, continued with their regular activities, which involved providing warm lunch to keep people's stomachs full.
Grateful for your support
ETCO's Saturday's Children Feeding Program deeply values your support, as it is the foundation of our continued operation. We extend our heartfelt appreciation for your contribution, which makes a significant impact. Please continue your valuable support, as it makes a lasting difference.
Care through food
The language we speak best with the kids. We just love how much happiness the show when we share the meals together.
Day of an African Child 2023
On the 16th of June, the Day of an African Child was commemorated. ETCO collaborated with organizations such as Greencard Mtaani, Women Network, Anointed Voice for the needy, SPEC, and Janris Foundation to organize a celebration involving approximately 16 schools. The event aimed to educate children about their rights, with a particular focus on the digital environment.
The Day of An African Child
We're teaming up with Greencard Mtaani, Women Network, Jahris Foundation, and Anointed Voice for the Needy to celebrate the International Day of the African Child on June 16th. This year's theme is "The Rights of the Child in the Digital Environment," with activities such as music, art, sports, and computer safety training. We urge everyone to join us in supporting children's rights in the digital age.
Week 23
During this week, we were compelled to augment the amount of food prepared at ETCO due to a rise in the number of individuals we serve. It is no longer limited to the usual proportions of approximately 350 children and 150 adults. Today, we witnessed almost identical figures for both adults and children. We extend our gratitude to all those who contribute to this program. Your support is sincerely valued, and we acknowledge your kindness and understanding.
