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.
For 25 years, CFK Africa has worked alongside slum communities in Kenya to transform health systems, empower youth, and build local leadership. Join us for the US Book Launch of Still, I Rise, and the Arms Around the World Benefit in Charlotte, NC, on October 10th.

#CFKAfrica recently joined the Kibera Educators Network as its members worked on the practical steps needed to transition from an informal network to a formally registered, sustainable community-based organization (CBO). The discussion centered around topics such as membership, governance, registration, resource mobilization, and how the network can enhance teacher capacity while advocating for schools throughout Kibera. Educators in Kibera are creating a unique initiative of their own. To learn more about the network, visit: https://ow.ly/iQKo50ZOcFU #PowerfulPartnerships #CommunityLedChange

Nutrition work improves when communities are part of reviewing what is working, what is not, and what needs to change. #CFKAfrica brought together our Nutrition Champions of Change to reflect on progress, achievements, challenges, and lessons from ongoing community nutrition activities. The review created space to identify gaps, share practical experiences, and agree on how to strengthen interventions so they remain relevant and useful to the communities they serve. Better nutrition outcomes depend on learning continuously and adapting with the people closest to the work! #CommunityHealth
