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!

For girls and young women in slums, access to menstrual products is about more than managing a period. It is about dignity, confidence, health, and the freedom to stay in school, move through the day, and participate fully in life. From our earliest days as #Binti Pamoja girls' program, #CFKAfrica has stood with girls and young women, creating spaces where they can learn, speak up, understand their rights, and protect their health. On World Menstrual Hygiene Day, we continue that commitment by joining the call for a future where no girl or woman is held back because of her period. Menstrual health is health. Let’s keep breaking the silence, ending stigma, and ensuring every girl has what she needs to thrive. #WorldMenstrualHygieneDay #MenstrualHealth #GirlsEmpowerment
