“This is a privilege and a chance to show the community that we can clean our environment ourselves,” one of the participating youth leaders said. “A clean environment means a better life.’’
Medical resident Grace Firestone discusses her experience working with CFK Africa and lessons she learned about maternal and child health in informal settlements.
Struggling to raise her four children alone in Kibera, Laurine accessed nutrition screening and treatment through CFK Africa.
In 2018, Rose Akoth discovered she had cervical cancer. She accessed treatment at CFK’s Tabitha Medical Clinic and now encourages other women to access screening.
With poignancy, humor and wit, 33-year-old Nicholas Okumu, CFK Africa’s Paramedic Operator invites us into his world.
Peacock Fellow Mitch Kimber discusses his experience working with CFK Africa and how he grew alongside the organization.
Peacock Fellow Sarah Lebu worked with children in Kenya to develop effective WaSH murals and promote healthy hand washing behaviors.
Growing up in Kibera, Esther realized she had a calling for childcare at a young age. Now, she has more than 20 years of experience as an ECD teacher supporting children’s physical and cognitive development.
When Edith realized her daughter was underweight, she reached out to our nutrition program for help. Less than a year later, her daughter was successfully discharged and is now able to enjoy a happy, healthy childhood.
