INSPIRE YOU

Thanks to your support, Tabitha Week was our most successful community outreach yet! Your contributions empowered our community health promoters to deliver maternal and child healthcare directly to over 300 mothers in Kibera. We reached mothers with life-saving health education and made referrals to our facilities for antenatal care, ultrasounds, and delivery. These efforts honored the legacy of our co-founder Tabitha Festo, who began CFK Africa with just $26 and a dream to provide dignified, compassionate healthcare in slum communities. Together, we are making progress toward improving maternal healthcare for all expectant mothers.

Youth Leadership​

We equip youth with education, employment, and advocacy skills.

Powerful Partnerships

Committed to local leadership

CFK Africa is locally led. Since our founding in 2001, our participatory development approach has been rooted in the conviction that sustainable impact and solutions to poverty are only possible when the communities most affected are the real change-makers.

We engage community advisory boards, hold feedback sessions, and strengthen collaborations with like-minded organizations, building trust and credibility essential to the success of our programs.

#CFKAfrica was featured in Tech Times news coverage on Kenya’s #publichealth landscape, with our CEO Jeffrey Okoro sharing insights on how funding shifts are impacting access to essential healthcare in communities like #Kibera. "Today, there is a pervasive sense of fear, of losing access to critical health care services and of livelihoods lost. Even programs that were not directly supported by USAID have been affected as it disrupted the supply chain of medications in Kenya," said Jeffrey Okoro. Read more

#CFKAfrica joins #Kenya and the global community in mourning the passing of Rt. Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga, former Prime Minister and long-serving Member of Parliament for Lang’ata Constituency, where #Kibera, our home, proudly stands. Raila officially opened our Tabitha Medical Clinic in 2009, leaving a lasting mark on our community. His leadership and years of service inspired Kibera to believe in the power of people-driven change. From the heart of Kibera, we honor his commitment to justice, equity, and uplifting communities. Thank you, Raila, for your lifelong dedication to Kenya’s progress.

We love welcoming visitors to #CFKAfrica HQ office in #Kibera. Thank you Thomas for spending time with us, learning from our communities on #youthempowerment and #publichealth. We hope the work inspires your medical passion! #alwayslearning
