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.

This week, #CFKAfrica welcomed Natalia back to #Kibera with her family, reconnecting with former colleagues and friends from her time in #nutrition. “Some visits feel like coming home,” Natalia says. A beautiful reminder that while programs and places evolve, the relationships built along the way remain part of CFK’s story. #25YearsOfService
Today, #CFKAfrica's Tabitha Maternity Home turns seven!🎂 Since opening in 2019, TMH has welcomed 2700+ babies into the world with zero maternal deaths, providing 24-hour maternity care and emergency ambulance support for mothers and newborns in #Kibera. Seven years later, Tabitha Festo’s belief that quality healthcare should be available when people need it continues through every delivery, every night shift, and every mother who walks through our doors. Tomorrow, on Tabitha’s birthday, we take you inside for The Night Shift. Set your reminder.🩺 #TabithaFestoWeek #CFKat25
When Kibera sleeps, our night team clocks in! Every night of the year, midwives, clinical officers, drivers, and guards keep #CFKAfrica's Tabitha Maternity Home running so mothers can access care when they need it, not when morning comes. They give their nights to safe deliveries, urgent care, and new beginnings. Twenty-five years later, this is Tabitha Festo’s promise still at work. Meet the night team. 💚 #TabithaFestoWeek #CFKat25
