Helen Snow, head of development for University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Medicine, and Deborah Sams recently visited Carolina for Kibera at Tabitha Medical Clinic in Nairobi. In a post on CFK's blog about their impressions of CFK and Kibera, Helen and Deborah explain,
"What struck us as we met with each of these CFK leaders was how dedicated, strategic, and caring each of them are in pursuit of their program goals. They each spoke with one voice and a strong unity of purpose. They were all careful to build a solid, sustainable plan for their respective program objectives, always being mindful that the communities of Kibera is the primary stakeholders. The CFK organization is a model for many NGO's hoping to have sustained impact. We were touched by their commitment and humbled by their ability to leverage so much action with so few resources. We hope that everyone will investigate further how they can help these inspiring young adults achieve what few others have done."

This quarter, Carolina for Kibera and Tabitha Clinic are focusing on fundraising for its HIV/AIDS Prevention Program. The HIV/AIDS Prevention Program endeavors to increase HIV/AIDS preventive services by integrating Adolescents Sexual and Reproductive Health (ASRH) information and services for youth within CFK core programs and the community at large. In addition, the program aims to increase the capacity of CFK staff to manage and implement HIV/AIDS and ASRH activities. HIV/AIDS is an area where youth in Kibera requested additional services from CFK. We hope that you will join us in supporting them to develop this program.
Finally, construction on the new, eco-friendly Tabitha Clinic continues! Attached are a few new photos of the progression.
Please keep our friends in Kibera in your thoughts and prayers over the holiday season. Many thanks for your support!
