Youth Leadership Builds

Healthy Communities.

CFK Africa fights extreme poverty in informal settlements in Kenya through complementary youth leadership and public health initiatives.

In kenya, millions of people live 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. 

we partner with communities to drive change.

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.

Leaving no teenage mother behind! The #GirlsEmpowerment Community Advisory Council held a feedback workshop at #CFKAfrica HQ to raise teachers' awareness of the right to education and related obligations. The workshop aimed to shift school administrators' perceptions and promote best practices that support the education of teen mothers. Thank you Owino Kotieno, Joyce Omondi, Chief Asia, Samuel Oninga, Philip Omondi and Mediatrix Tuju for facilitating the session.
