CFK’s leadership structure emphasizes grassroots decision-making and self-reliance. CFK, Inc. is the patron of all four CFK-Kenya organizations: the Youth Sports Program, Tabitha Medical Clinic, the Binti Pamoja Center, and Taka ni Pato. Although there is a high degree of collaboration, each organization is operationally and financially autonomous.
While a U.S.-based Board of Directors approves all major financial transactions, the CFK-Kenya Executive Director, Deputy Director, and Program Officers in Kibera manage all operations on the ground. CFK, Inc. invests money gradually and relies on the Executive Director and the Kenyan staff to manage all program budgets. A prominent Kenyan Board of Trustees provides local governance. This management structure is important because it, in turn, promotes accountability.
