For CFK Africa, 2024 has been full of innovation, collaboration, and empowerment, and we are pleased to present our interactive year in photos.
These images are a powerful representation of CFK Africa’s impact in the 26 informal settlements where we work. They are more than a moment captured in time. They tell stories – of opportunities created, of collaborations forged, of resilience, of purpose, and they remind us why our work in youth leadership and community health in informal settlements in Kenya matters.
Thank you for your support in making possible the stories these images convey. Join us in celebrating our shared impact by hovering over each photo below.
