“It’s about creating a space where, for just a little while, a teen mom can be more than a statistic or a story of survival. She can be curious. She can be seen. She has control.”
In addition to supporting women and girls, “CFK Africa enlists men and boys as active partners in preventing gender violence and fostering the wellbeing of women and girls through education and community building.”
“I do not allow my circumstances to define me or my future,” Claudia says. “I am now working hard and smart in school and scoring good grades.”
“There is tremendous power in investing and intervening during adolescence, which is a critical window in our development.”
The addition of vocational training reflects CFK Africa’s commitment to meeting the diverse needs of teenage mothers and ensuring their success.
“For me, foreign aid has a human face and a name. It is Asha, a 17-year-old mother of a 2-year-old boy, who lives in Nairobi Kenya’s large and difficult slum, Kibera.”
“My dream of becoming a nurse is now within reach.”
