KTN News Kenya interviewed CFK Africa Youth Education & Livelihoods Program Manager, Keith Obiero, about CFK Africa’s education and youth leadership work.
“Our education interventions from scholarships, student support, mentorship, and parental engagement provide us with a holistic approach in supporting students get to their potential and become meaningful citizens.”
“We understand that education is one of the most effective tools in addressing poverty.”
“I love the safe spaces sessions that we participate in. They are forums where we feel safe and get a sense of belonging. I know a brighter future awaits.”
“The crisis in accessible healthcare services caused by the Kenyan medical workers’ strike has been compounded by major flooding across the country,” said Jeffrey Okoro”
“Residents were given little notice to evacuate and gather their belongings, and there has not been a proposed resettlement area.”
“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.”
“They tell us that the men leave to make money for the family, but the women are left to guard what is left. There is also a lot of insecurity, so someone has to stay to guard the home,” Mr. Okoro said.
