“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.
“Adolescent girls in Kibera are knowledgeable, resourceful, and solutions-focused.”
“In summary, for nonprofit organizations, NGOs, and government entities working to increase economic opportunity for women or combat IPV in communities around the world, considering the connection between the two is key.”
“These deep ties to the community are what make this organization stand out and stand the test of time in Kibera.”
“CFK Africa is working to improve [school] attendance via a variety of methods, and this LEAP project (in partnership with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology) was designed to provide guidance on how to implement, measure, and eventually scale specific interventions to improve school attendance in informal settlements in Kenya.”
Selected as one of 10 global partners for the Leveraging Evidence for Action to Promote Change (LEAP) program, CFK Africa and MIT researchers will work together to increase the rate of primary school graduation among students in informal settlements.
