Kibera Soccer Women FC is proving the resilience and talent of informal settlement youth.
“Coaching is more than drills. It is about giving young people direction, alternatives, and belief in their own potential.”
US Ambassador Meg Whitman attended CFK Africa’s annual celebration of community heroes, including honoring Kibera Soccer Women FC for their service as champions of social change in Kibera.
“Beyond the recent headlines, however, the Women’s World Cup serves an even more important role in helping connect at-risk girls and young women with mentors, serving as an entry point to education, and even helping them overcome deeply rooted ethnic divisions like here in Kenya.
“The partnership between Kibera Girls Soccer Academy and CFK Africa has been significant in their success.”
