CFK Africa is youth-centered and community-aligned.
We envision a future where a generation of healthy, educated, and innovative youth in informal settlements become visionary leaders and change-makers, facilitated by digital connectivity.
Last weekend, CFK’s Kibera Soccer Women FC made history by winning the FKF Women’s Cup, marking the first time a slum team has won the championship. This moment was decades in the making. Through CFK’s sports for development programming, the Kibera Soccer Women have grown into champions, demonstrating the connections between CFK’s sports, girls empowerment, and youth leadership programming. We’re ready to see the team continue to shatter barriers for women in slums and go for the Kenya Women’s Premier League title next season!

We kicked off World Breastfeeding Week with a celebration! This year's theme is "Prioritize Breastfeeding: Create Sustainable Support Systems." Breastfeeding nurtures babies, empowers parents, and strengthens communities. But to make it truly accessible, we need systems that support it, including health care that informs and encourages and communities that normalize and celebrate. At #CFKAfrica, our clinics and community health promoters raise awareness, break barriers, and build a world where breastfeeding is supported at every level. #WorldBreastfeedingWeek #HealthForAll
This is what sisterhood looks like. 28 of our #Funzo teen mothers gathered together for a week of healing, reflection, and team-building - lifting each other up, sharing stories of resilience, and forging bonds that will last a lifetime. Their stories and #dreams will serve as a resource for other girls as we produce a book of #HerDreams. #Funzo #CFKAfrica
