CFK Africa supports these teenage mothers in gaining financial independence by providing skills training and placing them in jobs in traditionally male-dominated fields.
“Their journeys have been marked by many ups and downs, and their accomplishments speak to extraordinary perseverance in the face of challenges of growing up in slums.”
“The initiative dubbed, Women at Work, will provide them with valuable training to develop critical job skills often found in higher-paying, male-dominated fields.”
For CFK Africa, 2025 has been an extraordinary year of impact. We are pleased to present our interactive year in review.
“Through hands-on training, this new program aims to empower young women by creating opportunities for long-term economic security.”
“There are thousands of other aspiring youth like us who are talented but need opportunity and guidance to get started.”
“We don’t only collect data to prove a program works; we collect it because we believe there is always room for improvement.”
To overcome barriers to care, CFK Africa established a Youth-Friendly Services Centre in Kibera, Africa’s largest slum, where young people can receive vital support and treatment.
The youth-focused NGO says the situation poses a serious threat to the health, education, and future of young people in the community.
