  • carolinaforkibera2013-14We are together.

  • This phrase is at the heart of everything we do. In every

    training, outreach event, and forum in Kibera, there is a

    feeling of camaraderie, unity, and family. And like any

    family, when we face challenges or have disagreements,

    we work together to resolve them. These sentiments

    highlight a broader truth about Kibera: it might be

    possible to survive alone, but its only possible to grow

    together.

    To achieve positive change in a place as complex as

    Kibera, we must understand the hardship of those we

    serve and value each person who seeks our assistance.

    Every community member with whom we work has a

    story filled with great pain and hardship. The details

    vary, but often the themes are the same: unemployment,

    illness, broken families, abuse, or death. With each

    tragedy, hope weakens. But hope can be restored and

    lives transformed when we work together. Together we

    are strong, resilient, and filled with possibility.

    Through your support over the past year, CFK has helped

    thousands of Kiberans of all ages grow stronger:

    These are only a few examples of the kinds of impact

    youve made possible.

    Thank you. Your support helps Kiberans march towards

    self-sufficiency and success. Walk with us as we forge a

    path into the future that turns dreams into reality.

    Rhonda and her family stand in the doorway of her shop. Earlier this year, Naveli (in front) was

    admitted to CFKs Nutrition Center for being malnourished. After completing the centers

    8-week feeding and education curriculum, Navelis health is back on track.

  • Erick has always felt pressure to succeed. It came from many peoplehis neighbors, his family, even himself. Success, as defined by his family

    and many others in his community, simply meant making it through each day. But

    Ericks vision for his future was bigger than mere survival. And to realize his vision, he

    believed he needed to invest in himself firstby getting an education. Others doubted

    his strategy, saying he should give up on school and try to find work to take care of his

    family. Erick knew he could do both. And he was right.

    It wasnt easy. Kibera is a tough, discouraging place, full of talented yet impoverished

    people looking for opportunities. After Ericks father passed away from illness in their

    rural home, he returned to his home in Kibera to find their shack had been ransacked.

    Left with next to nothing, he worked construction jobs to survive from day to day, often

    skipping meals in favor of saving money for his education. With some persistence,

    he was re-admitted to his old high school, having earned the sympathetic ear of an

    administrator with his familys misfortune.

    Meanwhile, a friend told Erick about Carolina for Kibera and everything it was doing for

    the community. He was drawn to the Sexual and Reproductive Health program (SRH),

    because he didnt know anything about HIV/AIDS except that it was a deadly disease.

    He and his best friend, Moses, joined and became Youth Peer Providers (YPP), leading

    efforts to spread health information to peers throughout Kibera.

  • Becoming a YPP opened doors for Erick that he hadnt even imagined. Due to his hard

    work in SRH, he was given first priority for a college scholarship when CFK launched

    its Education Program in 2010. He eagerly accepted the opportunity and began to look

    into potential universities. He settled on the Kenya Institute of Mass Communication, a

    notoriously selective school for aspiring journalists. Though he was denied admission

    at first, he repeatedly asked the admissions office to reconsider. After witnessing his

    interest and enthusiasm for journalism, they decided to admit him.

    Erick enjoys telling stories and has

    done so for CFK by reporting on

    CFKs activities in the community.

    He strongly believes that stories

    have the power to transform his

    community. Now having graduated

    from university, he is thrilled to have

    his first full-time job at Royal Media, where he works as a reporter. He credits CFK with

    teaching him the skills needed to succeed in a professional environment and inspiring

    his interest in journalism. He still lives in Kibera, where he shares a two-bedroom co-op

    with friends. And true to his nature, Erick is giving back to his family by supporting and

    serving as a role model for his sister, Linet, as she makes her way through high school.

    Creating meaningful change often begins by making a difference in

    the life of a single person. Over the past

    13 years, Carolina for Kibera has focused

    on creating change in Kibera one person

    at a time. The result? CFK has built

    an expansive, dynamic network that

    brings programming and opportunity

    to even the hardest-to-reach parts of

    Kibera. Through this network of people,

    places, and programs, CFK is sparking

    positive change for tens of thousands of

    residents each year.

  • 3,235HAND-WASHING STATIONS SET UP IN KIBERAN HOMES

    Sometimes the simplest form of disease prevention is the one

    that works best. With support from

    Ronald McDonald House Charities,

    this initiative sought to reinforce the

    importance of keeping ones hands

    clean by making it easy to access clean

    and safe materials for hand-washing.

    Community Health Workers set up

    hand-washing stations in Kiberan

    homes and developed a media

    campaign (using posters and stickers)

    to spread the word throughout Kibera.

    22YOUTH JOINED NEW WORK READINESS PROGRAM

    Since CFKs Trash Is Cash Program was founded 9 years ago,

    the Economic and Entrepreneurship

    Department has grown significantly,

    offering several business training

    programs in addition to its regular trash

    collection service. Launched this year, the

    Work Readiness programdeveloped in

    coordination with UNCs School of Social

    Workaddresses yet another economic

    challenge for people living in Kibera: the

    ability to find formal work. With 22 in the

    first cohort, this program aims to provide

    participants with hard and soft skills

    needed for the workplace, while connecting

    them with internship placements and

    certificate or degree courses in a field of

    their choice.

  • 14,651VACCINATED AGAINST POLIOIn coordination with the Kenyan Ministry of Health, Community Health Workers working with Carolina for Kibera identified

    thousands of children in need of polio immunization and administered

    vaccines to them. With polio making a global resurgence, including in rural

    parts of Kenya, this campaign was especially important in securing healthy

    futures for children in Kibera and across the country of Kenya.

  • The CFK Sprinters keep getting better and better, shining alongside jump rope teams from across Kenya, East Africa, and

    the U.S. This year, members of the team who were selected to perform

    in competitions earned a total of 65 medals, while all members of the

    team conducted 30 outreach shows in the community. Jump rope is

    more popular than everin fact, due to the efforts of CFK and partners,

    it is now recognized as an official sport in Kenya!

  • 140MALNOURISHED CHILDREN BACK TO FULL HEALTH

    The CFK Nutrition Center has been open for just over

    a year, and has helped bring back

    over 140 malnourished children

    to a healthy weight. In keeping

    with the Health Departments

    philosophy, the Centers program

    not only provides treatment

    for malnourished children,

    but lessons on how to prevent

    malnutrition in the future.

    Parents are taught how to shop

    more nutritiously while on

    a budget and staff members

    conduct follow-up visits to

    check in with children after they

    complete the program.
