“They gave me the best information, and now I can pass it on to others who may not know where to turn.”
“There is tremendous power in investing and intervening during adolescence, which is a critical window in our development.”
“Children deserve to learn in a way that makes learning more interesting to them.”
“Coaching is more than drills. It is about giving young people direction, alternatives, and belief in their own potential.”
CFK Africa welcomes four Peacock Fellows to our team this summer.

“The launch event affirmed several truths for me: that many are committed to ending GBV, that community ownership is key, and that extraordinary potential exists when people unite around a shared cause.”
“Change is rarely linear, impact takes time, and contexts change, especially in dynamic environments like the informal settlements in which CFK Africa works.”
As a YPP, Hezborn connects youth in Kibera with mental health counseling and health services at CFK Africa’s Youth Friendly Services Center.
