CFK Africa is youth-centered and community-aligned.
We envision a future where a generation of healthy, educated, and innovative youth in informal settlements become visionary leaders and change-makers, facilitated by digital connectivity.
Last weekend, CFK’s Kibera Soccer Women FC made history by winning the FKF Women’s Cup, marking the first time a slum team has won the championship. This moment was decades in the making.

#CFKAfrica’s #TechCraft program is equipping youth with essential digital skills through our Digital Literacy Training. Last week, our 2025 Cohort 2 trainees sat for their final exam with Computers for Schools Kenya.
