CFK Africa, an international nonprofit dedicated to empowering youth in informal settlements across Kenya, will recognise community groups and champions making a difference in some of Africa’s most vulnerable communities at its upcoming community awards event next month, August 9, 2025 in Kibera.
The celebration, one of the only of its kind in Kenya’s slum communities, will recognize local leaders driving community change and honor the Kibera Soccer Women FC for their historic victory in Kenya’s recent FKF Women’s Cup Finals.
A lively awards celebration is scheduled to take place in Kibera, Kenya’s largest informal settlement outside Nairobi.
“Despite operating with limited resources, members of our community demonstrate leadership, resilience, and lifelong dedication to improving the lives of others,” said CFK Africa executive director, Jeffrey Okoro. “We are excited to honor these unsung heroes at our annual awards event.”
The annual awards recognise individuals or groups that promote CFK Africa’s core values of impact, innovation, leadership, sustainability, inclusivity, resilience, and community coaching as it empowers youth in slums through innovative health, youth leadership, sports for development, and girls empowerment programs.
