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.
For 25 years, CFK Africa has worked alongside slum communities in Kenya to transform health systems, empower youth, and build local leadership. Join us for the US Book Launch of Still, I Rise, and the Arms Around the World Benefit in Charlotte, NC, on October 10th.

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’s #GirlsEmpowermentProgram supported Her Ability initiative with a donation of sanitary pads for girls and young women in their community. For CFK, menstrual health support means dignity, confidence, school attendance, and ensuring girls can participate fully in daily life without shame or interruption. We are grateful for partners like Stella Bosire who continue to create safe, supportive spaces for girls and young women to learn and thrive. #MenstrualHealth #DignityForGirls
When childbirth becomes an emergency, every second and every skill matters. Last week, nurses from #CFKAfrica’s Tabitha Maternity Home took part in a three-day obstetric emergency training to strengthen their response to delivery complications. The training covered critical areas including prolonged and obstructed labour, eclampsia, and breech births — equipping our team with practical skills to act quickly, safely, and confidently when mothers and babies need urgent care. For us, quality #maternalhealth means being prepared for both routine deliveries and the moments when fast, skilled action can save lives. #QualityHealthcare
What should a girl do when her rights are violated, and where can she turn for help? #CFKAfrica’s #GirlsEmpowermentProgram held a sensitisation session with girls on sexual offences, their rights, and safe reporting pathways. The session helped participants understand how to recognize abuse, preserve evidence, seek immediate medical attention, and access support through available systems, including the Gender Desk and justice process. Through group discussions and practical activities, the girls had space to ask questions, share, and build confidence to speak up when something is wrong. #EndGBV #LazimaNibonge
