On the Day of the African Child, Wetu Trust Foundation in collaboration with Wakili na Watoto Club organized a successful feeding program at Mukuru kwa Jenga. The initiative brought together children, parents, and community members to celebrate the day while addressing the pressing issue of food insecurity in informal settlements. The event was anchored on the theme of nurturing hope and empowering children through compassion and care.
Hundreds of children benefited from nutritious meals prepared and served with the support of volunteers and well-wishers. Beyond feeding, the program created a space for interaction, where children were reminded of their rights, dignity, and the importance of education. Through storytelling, songs, and mentorship sessions, the young ones were encouraged to dream big despite the socio-economic challenges around them.
The collaboration between Wetu Trust Foundation and Wakili na Watoto Club underscored the power of partnerships in driving community impact. By combining resources and expertise, the two organizations highlighted that empowering children goes beyond advocacy—it also requires practical interventions that touch lives directly. The program left a lasting mark of hope, unity, and a renewed commitment to stand for the welfare of African children.
