We are an NGO working with community members to improve public health, educational outcomes, and economic opportunities in informal settlements.
In these communities, residents lack access to quality health care, proper nutrition, and adequate sanitation, leaving them susceptible to preventable diseases.
Limited access to quality education and economic advancement opportunities, high levels of unemployment, and gender inequity further impede individual and community progress. Though residents are talented, resilient, and entrepreneurial, many lack the opportunities needed to break the cycle of poverty. We’re changing that narrative.
For over 20 years, we’ve worked with residents of informal settlements to improve health, education, and economic outcomes in their communities.
Thanks to these collaborations, we are able to identify the most pressing challenges in each community through participatory research, build the capacity of local health and education systems, develop youth leaders, and drive change from within.

Congratulations to the happy mothers and babies born on September 24 at our #CFKAfrica Tabitha Maternity Home on the birthday of our late co-founder, Tabitha Festo. We were thrilled to offer complimentary deliveries and small gifts to these little ones in her honor. #TabithaWeek2023 #MCH #healthymomandhealthybabies
On Sunday, CFK Africa honors the birthday of our late co-founder, Tabitha Atieno Festo. In 2000, with a gift of 2,000 Kenyan shillings and unwavering motto of “sacrificing for success” she started what would become the Tabitha Medical Clinic, first providing services from her 10 by 10 home. She delivered many babies at night in the original clinic adjacent to her own home in Gatwekera village. Tabitha believed in healthy community with a focus on maternal and child health. In her honor, fees for all deliveries done on September 24 at our Tabitha Maternity Home will be waived. We are welcoming this next generation of changemakers into the world. #TabithaWeek2023 #MCH #healthymomandhealthybabies
