About

Informal settlements

#CFKAfrica friends in North Carolina, join us for a special 25th Anniversary Happy Hour at Steel String Taproom in Carrboro on Tuesday, October 6, from 5:30–7:30 PM! Meet three members of our Kenya team visiting Chapel Hill, hear more about CFK Africa’s 25-year journey and our work empowering young people in Kenya’s informal settlements, and connect with the community that continues to make this work possible. 10% of sales from the evening will support CFK Africa’s youth programs. Come raise a glass with us and celebrate 25 years of community-led impact. #CFKat25 #CommunityLed #UNC

Every organization has a founding story. Ours began with a nurse who refused to close her door. Tabitha Festo turned $26 (KES 2,000) into a small business, then used what she earned to open a clinic in her home in #Kibera. When people asked why she saw patients at night, her answer was simple: "People don’t stop getting sick at night." In 2001, Tabitha co-founded #CFK Africa, alongside Salim Mohamed and our Board Chair Rye Barcott. Twenty-five years later, that same conviction still shapes our work: healthcare in informal settlements must be close, affordable, and available when people need it. This week, we celebrate #TabithaFestoWeek. Each day leading up to her birthday on September 24, we’ll share how her legacy lives on at #TabithaMaternityHome, where care continues around the clock. #CommunityHealth

#CFKAfrica, in partnership with @bic.kenya, visited Genesis Joy Academy in Mathare for a pen distribution initiative supporting learners in informal settlements. The engagement brought together students, school leadership, local administration, and partners for an afternoon centered on education, opportunity, and the power of learning. This partnership has grown over five years, reaching 400+ schools and more than half a million learners, with an ambition to contribute one million pens to support learning across informal settlements. For us, this is what partnership looks like: practical, consistent support that helps learners stay equipped, encouraged, and ready to keep going. #EducationForAll #PowerfulPartnerships
