As the end of the year nears, we take a moment to pause and reflect on what we accomplished together in 2023.
“My time in North Carolina was valuable both professionally and personally.”
“Nothing is impossible since the word itself is ‘I’m possible.’”
“My favorite part of being a part of the CFK Africa scholarship program has been all the mentorship activities that have given me guiding tips on how to live and interact with others.”
As students were sitting for their Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education examinations at the end of 2022, Esther Askoye, student at the neighboring Olympic High School in Kibera, delivered a healthy baby girl at CFK Africa Tabitha Maternity Home. Hours later, she took her national Agriculture examination in the same clinic.
CFK Africa’s Funzo project improves health, wellness and educational outcomes for teenage mothers in Kenyan informal settlements.
“My message to other teens out there is to come out and look at the challenges our community is facing, and to try to address them in small ways.”
“As a field officer; I ensure that the community I serve is safe. Alongside other field officers, I sensitize the community on the importance of hygiene practices at the household and business levels to combat the cholera menace in Kibera.”
“These deep ties to the community are what make this organization stand out and stand the test of time in Kibera.”
