Leading public health NGO CFK Africa offers five actionable steps for fighting the potential surge of Mpox in Kenya’s informal settlements and elsewhere throughout the country.
CFK Africa Nutritionist Esther Opana was interviewed for a feature during World Breastfeeding Week.
“For [CFK Africa] as an organization we first started by mapping out the disaster areas just knowing who’s been affected by what. Thereafter we started coordinating the kind of help that can be provided.”
“Our response recognizes both the immediate need of affected families…as well as the long-term impact of the spread of waterborne disease.”
“To us, it’s about how we can protect, prevent, but, most importantly, share knowledge that we are learning from this health surveillance platform that we have,” he said.
“As a leading NGO and healthcare provider in Kibera, Kenya’s largest informal settlement, CFK Africa is at the frontlines of this crisis.”
“Preventive healthcare is the most important step in ensuring communities are free from diseases.”
CFK Africa will host a growth and monitoring activity for children under the age of 5 in Kibra on Friday, 23, June 2023.
CFK Africa is a registered NGO in Kenya and 501(c)(3) nonprofit in the U.S. that improves public health and economic prosperity in informal settlements through participatory research, primary health care, and education.
