Empowering youth In Slums for 25 years

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.

Our Youth Leaders Will

INSPIRE YOU

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!

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.

Get Social With Us

We loved hosting the Save the Children Kenya Global Awards and the Donor Compliance Leadership team at our #CFKAfrica headquarters yesterday. Our discussions centered on our partnership journey and the impact of our joint work advancing the #MNCH program in Kamukunji and Makadara sub-counties. It was a valuable moment to reflect on progress, strengthen alignment, and reaffirm our shared commitment to #maternal, #newborn, and #childhealth. We look forward to deepening this collaboration and continuing to deliver impact where it matters most. #powerfulpartnerships
