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.
In Matsangoni, members of CFK Africa’s Girls’ Parliament put their learning into action. They raised their voices on an issue that had long been at the forefront of their minds: access to sanitary towels. With support from local authorities, the girls mobilized over 1,000 packs of sanitary pads for distribution to girls and young women at a special community event. The turnout was overwhelming, the energy inspiring, and the impact immediate. When girls lead, entire communities move forward – well done, ladies!

Mvua kubwa zimeathiri baadhi ya maeneo ya #Kibera, Mukuru, Mathare, na familia nyingi zinakumbwa na mafuriko na changamoto za kutembea ndani ya jamii. Pole sana kwa wote walioathirika. 💚 Tafadhali zingatia mambo haya kwa usalama wako na wa familia yako: ▶️Epuka kutembea kwenye maji ya mafuriko, hasa karibu na mitaro. ▶️Weka watoto mbali na maji ya mafuriko, kwani yanaweza kuwa na uchafu au vijidudu vinavyosababisha magonjwa. ▶️Zima stima ikiwa maji yanaanza kuingia ndani ya nyumba ili kuepuka hatari ya mshtuko wa umeme. ▶️Chemsha maji ya kunywa au tumia dawa ya kutibu maji ili kujikinga na magonjwa kama cholera na typhoid. ▶️Angalia majirani zako, hasa wazee, watoto, na wale wanaoishi peke yao. Tuchunge familia zetu na jamii yetu wakati huu wa mvua. #CFKAfrica #StaySafe #CommunityCare
