Week 17 - Eventful day
To get things ready, ETCO Team almost didn't sleep. They woke up so early to prepare for this long day. Cooking was the 1st activity of the day where we worked together to ensure that food was ready in time. Some of the team members split to their various departments to equally prepare. We had children play various games at Undugu Grounds including, rugby, handball, volley and soccer. A good meal was served to them at ETCO Offices and then all eyes were on ETCO Theatre at Canaan Estate Community Hall where our actors and actresses crowned the day by showcasing their talents through acting.
We love when our activities generate from within. The passion in which we do things with and the joy that comes with the results associated to them.
Having things done passionately, informs our decision making on which departments to create to allow for more room of empowerment.
2nd children feeding program for 2025
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.
Happy New Year 2025 to you all
The beginning of 2025 feels like a renewed hope for a more productive and positive year. At ETCO, we are excited to continue making an impact through our children feeding program, which has become a cornerstone of our efforts to empower communities in informal settlements. This program has touched the lives of many children, providing not only meals but also a sense of care and belonging.
Christmas 🌲 Day Blessings
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.
