“She was selected to represent all youth in Matsangoni ward on health issues, a role that allows her to amplify and advocate for other youth and teenage mothers.”

“She will forever be an inspiration to me, and I hope to many others, especially kids facing challenging times, and young parents feeling overwhelmed, desperately wanting to do the right thing.”

Our annual community awards, held August 9, 2025, honored these unsung heroes who advance our mission of empowering youth.

“A special highlight this year will be the recognition of Kibera Soccer Women FC, CFK Africa’s professional women’s soccer team, for winning the national FKF Women’s Cup.”

The simple act of reading has gone a long way. Through the ReaDS book club, the girls are healing, learning, and slowly becoming the authors of their lives.

“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.”

“Kibera Soccer Women’s journey to becoming champions was a testament to their resilience.”

“This team of remarkable women demonstrates what we have always believed about the people of Kibera: that they are capable of incredible achievements when given the opportunity.”

“Visiting CFK’s clinics and tech training classes has been eye opening. I saw firsthand the challenges residents face and the tangible difference CFK is making in their lives.”

“I want to play football and help my family financially. Life has not been easy, with ups and downs.”
