“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.”
“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.”
“We believe that an intergenerational dialogue is crucial to addressing the issues that come with SRGBV.”
“Coaching is more than drills. It is about giving young people direction, alternatives, and belief in their own potential.”
CFK Africa has launched a new initiative to tackle sexual and gender-based violence in Mathare slum.
“The launch event affirmed several truths for me: that many are committed to ending GBV, that community ownership is key, and that extraordinary potential exists when people unite around a shared cause.”
The addition of vocational training reflects CFK Africa’s commitment to meeting the diverse needs of teenage mothers and ensuring their success.
Working with CFK Africa as a Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEAL) fellow on the Girls’ Empowerment Program has reinforced my belief that giving girls and women the tools they need to succeed can lead to transformative change, even in the most challenging circumstances.
“My dream of becoming a nurse is now within reach.”
“I’m excited to keep growing, uplifting my community alongside me.”
