What do you think Boston will look like? What do you want the world to know about you? What are your football dreams? Through a highly competitive process, Festival 26 selected six CFK youth to represent Kenya in Boston at a FIFA World Cup global youth leadership and sports program in July. It’s been no small accomplishment to get to this point – out of 48 participating delegations, CFK is one of just four from Africa. CFK Africa youth Harriet, Erick, Faridah, and Nehemiah share what they most look forward to about their upcoming experience in Boston. We are cheering these young athletes on!

Strong community action is what moves public health forward. Marking World Malaria Day in Kilifi, this engagement brought services closer to the people while reinforcing the role of everyday actions like net use and early treatment. Moments like these remind us that awareness alone isn’t enough; access, trust, and consistent community engagement are what drive real impact in the fight against malaria. #WorldMalariaDay #CFKAfrica #CommunityEngagement
