Talent is universal, Opportunity is not

We are committed to connecting talented slum youth to opportunities. Our approach confronts the most critical obstacles at each stage of life, from poor childhood nutrition to lack of education and gainful employment.  

Community Health​

We remove barriers to accessing quality health care.

Youth Leadership

We equip youth with education, employment, and advocacy skills.

Powerful Partnerships

We bring together partners to tackle community challenges.

Committed to local leadership

CFK Africa is locally led. Since our founding in 2001, our participatory development approach has been rooted in the conviction that sustainable impact and solutions to poverty are only possible when the communities most affected are the real change-makers.

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.

In partnership with Women's Link Worldwide, our International Women’s Day celebration was a powerful platform for girls’ voices! Teenage mothers shared their personal journeys of resilience, education, and determination. Together with #powerfulpartners, we continue to create a space where girls can speak up, share their journeys, and inspire one another. These testimonies remind us of the power of believing in yourself, staying hopeful, and pushing forward. #CFKAfrica #girlsempowerment #InternationalWomensDay

Our HQ came alive in a joyful #InternationalWomensDay celebration with teenage mothers, caregivers, and community partners. Together, we honored the strength of young women and championed the support systems that help girls stay in school and pursue their dreams. It was a powerful moment to reflect, connect, and push girls’ empowerment forward! #girlpower #IWD2026
