CFK Africa named 10 new recipients of its scholarship program designed to empower students in informal settlements to succeed throughout all four years of high school, bringing its total number of currently funded scholars to 92.
This month, CFK Africa announced a new partnership with We One Action Network (WOAN) to support its Best Schools Initiative in 2024, continuing the organization’s efforts to improve educational outcomes in informal settlements in Kenya.
“We expect even bigger things to come in 2024 between our new partnership with WOAN to support our Best Schools Initiative and our other efforts to catalyze youth leadership across informal settlements in Kenya.”
As the end of the year nears, we take a moment to pause and reflect on what we accomplished together in 2023.
CFK Africa will host an annual gathering of current and past academic scholarship recipients later this month, as part of a long-term project to improve their educational and career prospects.
“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.”
“The three-day training for more than 36 teachers was aimed at equipping them with the necessary skills on how to better support children with disabilities.”
“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.”
“CFK Africa is working to improve [school] attendance via a variety of methods, and this LEAP project (in partnership with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology) was designed to provide guidance on how to implement, measure, and eventually scale specific interventions to improve school attendance in informal settlements in Kenya.”
CFK Africa is a registered NGO in Kenya and 501(c)(3) nonprofit in the U.S. that improves public health and economic prosperity in informal settlements through participatory research, primary health care, and education.
