We remove barriers to accessing quality health care.
We equip youth with education, employment, and advocacy skills.

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.

Kwaheri, #Kenya. Karibu, #NewYork! Our #Festival26 delegates have officially landed in NYC, with Boston next on the journey.

Big shoutout to our #TabithaMedicalClinic team for taking preventive care closer to the community. The team conducted a school outreach at Global One School in #Kibera, vaccinating 10-year-old girls against HPV as part of early cervical cancer prevention. HPV vaccination is one of the most effective ways to protect girls before exposure to the virus. Through outreaches like this, #CFKAfrica is helping ensure more girls can access timely, preventive health services where they are. #CommunityHealth
