CELEBRATING THE 20^TH ANNIVERSARY OF CFK**

BACKGROUND

Established in 2001, Carolina for Kibera (CFK) works in partnership with communities to fight poverty with an innovative community-based platform focused on long-term youth leadership development and life-saving public health initiatives.

CFK began as an organization with two programs, one implementing sports for change initiatives and the other, a small 10x10 health clinic. Over the past 19 years, CFK has grown into an organization that provides primary health care throughout Kibera through its 4 health clinics, empowers girls and provides safe spaces for young women to flourish and that fosters youth leadership on multiple front.

CFK’s approach to participatory community development has been rooted in the conviction that sustainable impact and solutions to poverty are only possible when the community that is most affected by it are the real change-makers. The organization is on a rapid growth trajectory as it heads toward its 20th Anniversary in 2021.

OVERALL OBJECTIVE
