What a night in Charlotte, North Carolina!

🌍 This past weekend, #CFKAfrica gathered friends, partners and supporters for Arms Around the World, marking 25 years of locally led impact and the US launch of Still, I Rise: Stories of Resilience from Teenage Mothers in Kenya’s Slums. Co-editors Siama Yusuf, who leads our #GirlsEmpowerment team, and Charlotte Barcott shared the story behind the book and why creating space for teenage mothers to tell their own stories matters. Congratulations to The Sall Family, recipients of CFK's 25th Anniversary Arms Around the World Award and Brett Bullington, recipient of a Lifetime Board Achievement Award. Over the next five years, we aim to grow our youth development network to reach one million youth across East Africa. To everyone who joined us, supported the celebration, and helped make this milestone possible: Asante! 📖 Get your copy of Still, I Rise: https://cfkafrica.org/still-i-rise/ Proceeds support CFK Africa’s Girls Empowerment Program. #CFKat25 #StillIRise
