Week 7 Children Feeding Program
This week has had a lot of difficult moments including scarcity of water.
A few cases of children going to fetch water, some coming back home with nothing while others trying their best to get it even if it involved trading their bodies sexually to the vendors so that they get it.
It's for sure very hot an water would be a very important resource.
We choose to cook for these children on this day to help them avoid such more cases related to water and food.
By engaging these children for an hour or two keeps them busy and help them keep away from bad behaviors.
Special thanks to Joseph (Joe) Tako and ETCO team for making this happen.
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.
