Spotlight on Africa reached out to three experts involved in rethinking the future of aid, including CFK Africa Executive Director Jeffrey Okoro.
“Change is rarely linear, impact takes time, and contexts change, especially in dynamic environments like the informal settlements in which CFK Africa works.”
“There is a lot of misunderstanding on what aid or development work is. To me, it restores dignity, brings out the best in humanity, and lessens suffering, and I think that is missed from a lot of the current news stories on the pullback of aid,” said CFK Africa Executive Director Jeffrey Okoro.
“CFK Africa’s locally-led approach to development stood out as a prime example of this model.”
“What moved me most, however, was witnessing the full circle of impact.”
On July 13, 2024, CFK Africa honored our incredible Kibra Community Champions for their selfless dedication and outstanding contributions.
From playing in CFK Africa soccer tournaments as a child to being a volunteer conducting STEM sessions with Kibera youth, Andrew Odongo exemplifies CFK Africa’s impact on youth leadership.
CFK Africa’s annual awards celebration in Kibera honored members of our community for their leadership and service.
“Ambassador Whitman addressed awardees and other stakeholders at the event, sharing key variables to her own success and advice for younger generations.”
“These deep ties to the community are what make this organization stand out and stand the test of time in Kibera.”
