“There are a lot of good things happening around decolonizing aid and localization, and that is something that CFK Africa is engaging in.”
“The fear is real” said CFK Africa Executive Director, Jeffrey Okoro.
The health workers advocate for localisation, local financing and even “changing the look around all the challenges that exist in these communities”, Okoro told RFI.
“There is a lot of misunderstanding on what aid or development work is. To me, it restores dignity, brings out the best in humanity, and lessens suffering, and I think that is missed from a lot of the current news stories on the pullback of aid,” said CFK Africa Executive Director Jeffrey Okoro.
“For me, foreign aid has a human face and a name. It is Asha, a 17-year-old mother of a 2-year-old boy, who lives in Nairobi Kenya’s large and difficult slum, Kibera.”
“We know the sport is a unique unifier and provides an avenue for building momentum for behavioral change and living safely and responsibly,” he told the Star in an interview.
Kennedy Juma explains how CFK Africa uses sports to keep youth engaged, curbing the dangers of drug abuse and unhealthy behaviors during the long holidays.
“We know that even putting food on the table, getting better clothing or shelter are not automatic as may be the case for other people elsewhere. This makes the gap plugged by Tabitha Maternity Home a higher imperative,” Jeffrey Okoro.
“Indeed, paramedics, like Okumu are the unsung heroes of the critical medical emergency ecosystem.”
“The organization emphasizes four models to support young people in informal settlements.”
