the power of community 10 Years of Collaborative Learning and Action C AR O LINA FO R K IB ERA FY2011 Annual Report Mission Carolina for Kibera exists to develop local leaders, catalyze positive change and alleviate poverty in the Kibera slum of Nairobi. Vision We envision a Kibera where people are healthy, safe and self-sufficient. A place where every person, regardless of background, has a voice in his or her future and access to opportunities and resources to realize that future. A community that finds strength in diversity and individuals who are empowered to pursue opportunities both locally and across the globe. VALUES Community Participation Excellence Dignity We endeavor to make every effort to bring out the best in colleagues, program participants, partners and residents of Kibera and welcome feedback for improvement. We value the voices of all stakeholders equally, actively promote diversity within our programs and uphold mutual respect as a cornerstone of our decision-making processes. Teamwork Integrity Innovation We, as staff, volunteers, board members and partners, work together in a supportive manner towards our common vision. We strive to be transparent, accountable and responsible in all of our interactions with staff, clients and partners and accept responsibility for our collective and individual actions. We seek new, creative and better ways to respond to community challenges, manage resources and develop programs. We recognize that the community is the driver and sustainer of change. Community members’ wisdom, voice and leadership are absolutely necessary for success. ii Kibera in Context K E N Y A NAIROBI K I B E R A 40m 3.3m ?

A year later, they formally launched Carolina for Kibera (CFK), motivated by their shared desire to effect change by unlocking the potential of Kibera’s residents. Their approach was simple, but radical – listen to the community, then respond to those needs and aspirations by partnering locally, nationally and globally. In short, they worked to connect talent to opportunity. As we celebrate our first decade, we are grateful for all who have joined with us to move our vision forward. Extraordinary things have happened through the collaboration of Kibera residents with seemingly endless energy, committed volunteers, generous donors and partners in the U.S. and Kenya. We also cannot forget what it has taken to get here. We’ve learned some difficult lessons along the way, but our successes are far greater in number and in impact than our setbacks. In ten short years, we’ve broken down gender and ethnic barriers, empowered dozens of social entrepreneurs, created safe and fun play environments for thousands of children, sent hundreds of students to school, provided and created employment and realized Tabitha’s dream of a world-class medical clinic in Kibera that serves more than 41,000 patients a year. These remarkable achievements reflect the ambition and effort of a remarkable community. Our work is defined by the vision the community has for itself, and guided by the belief that investing in someone creates a ripple effect of positive impact in the community. As we begin our second decade, we have seen how your support has helped to improve the lives of tens of thousands of people in Kibera. But great challenges lie ahead. The reality is that Kibera remains a slum, and too many live far below the poverty line. The global economic crisis has meant that some of the funding on which we relied in the past is no longer available. As you will read in the following pages, we have a bold vision for the years ahead. We are, as always, grateful to you, our supporters, as we push onward in our mission to develop local leaders, catalyze positive change and alleviate poverty in the Kibera slum of Nairobi. Please join us, so that we all have a more secure future.

Each serves as a reminder of what it takes to make an impact. Taken together, they are the power of our Carolina For Kibera community.

We don’t know exactly. But we know it takes time. Kibera’s problems will not be solved by a silver bullet. They will be solved by the young leaders like those working with CFK. We see promise for the future every day in the lives of our members and alumni. Holistic locally-led solutions create resiliency and impact that endures. It’s what we call “the long view,” and it works. It all started ten years ago when three soon-to-be friends for youth and sparking innovative, locally-led solutions found themselves and each other in Kibera. Beyond to abject urban poverty.

I didn’t think it would be good. I was told to go to the clinic to get tested. It was positive. If it had not been for the Tabitha Clinic, I would not be alive. From the moment I started going there I have not paid for any tablets, which I would not have been able to do. Hillary, at the clinic, he makes me feel Joseph Achieng at home. He reminded me that life matters. Now I like to help Tabitha Clinic patient, others in my situation by telling my story. I got training to be community health worker a community health worker through CFK to help others with and peer educator HIV positive living. I get to help others like the clinic helped me, and for that I am thankful.” 8 If you fell sick in a slum, where would you turn? This is a question all too familiar for many in Kibera. With the high cost of medical care and limited access to treatment facilities, many opt to wait for illness to pass, self-treat or incur further debt to access health clinics. Our health-focused programs exist to provide better holistic care, so there is no question about where to turn. To serve the needs of the community, CFK’s Tabitha Medical Clinic and Sexual Reproductive Health Program provide Kibera with essential life-saving solutions. From giving basic vaccinations to treating diarrheal disease, from providing antiretroviral drugs for HIV patients to educating teens about sexually-transmitted disease, from handing out condoms to taking digital x-rays — our wide array of health services fills the need for high-quality, low-cost healthcare in Kibera. This Year: 452 digital x-rays taken 12,480 people educated about environmental health 41,841 patients treated in the Tabitha Medical Clinic 1,538 students involved in after school reproductive health classes The future 8,000 families empowered with prevention and wellness education and provided basic in-home healthcare by 100 trained local volunteers. 9 3 the power of Life “I’m 17, and am in my last year here at Starrays [high school]. I want to be an electrical engineer because I love math and physics. What I want to do, it will take six more years of schooling. That’s a lot, but I will like it. I do it because I like knowledge. With knowledge, you can make your own decisions for yourself and you can come up with ideas no one has thought of before. I want to come up with a new device that Moses Rabok will change the way electricity is used. Without education, I CFK scholarship recipient cannot do this. The scholarships I receive for my school fees will make this possible for me.” 10 How do you create social well-being in a slum? Kibera is a community of incredible talent and ingenuity. Residents have the dedication, creativity and drive to be successful, but often do not have access to opportunities to develop the necessary skills. That’s where CFK’s skill-building programs come in. Active On the surface, the Sports Association may appear as just a fun way for kids in Kibera to spend their time. But the real motivation is to use soccer and jump rope as tools for building leadership, promoting ethnic cooperation and teaching about HIV/ AIDS. Ethnicity, gender and HIV can be difficult topics to talk about with youth. Sport builds camaraderie and creates a youth-friendly environment for serious conversations. The program also uses sport to access national and international travel opportunities to broaden worldviews and boost confidence. This past year, the boys and girls soccer teams were invited to three national and two international tournaments. The girls “Queens” team traveled to Moshi, Tanzania for their first international tour- THIS YEAR: 226 soccer teams in the Sports Association, with players aged 10 to 23 180 participants in the jump rope program 3,134 youth enrolled in the Sports Association nament, with the under 13 group finishing in 4th place, and the under 17 group finishing 6th overall. Through our partnership with One Word One Rope, one jump rope coach travelled to Paris for an international training camp and two jumpers came to the U.S. for an international competition and several workshops. In a thrilling performance, our jumpers earned five medals, an especially impressive feat considering they only began the sport a few months earlier! The future Expand the jump rope program and add additional sports that teach ethnic & gender cooperation and leadership. 11 Empowered Kibera is dangerous for adolescent girls. Creating a community where a young girl can grow up feeling safe and confident is crucial to her success as an empowered woman. By helping girls explore the challenges of their lives through discussion, the arts and peer-mentorship, the Daughters United (Binti Pamoja) program provides a safe environment for development and learning. It’s a place that allows those who feel powerless to be powerful. The girls note that the best aspect of this program is that they run it themselves and are role models for one another. Girls turn to one another for support, counseling and inspiration. The Future Reach more girls with special needs like young mothers, HIV+ girls and those with physical disabilities. 12 THIS YEAR: 1,000 girls participated in the Binti Pamoja program 28 “Safe Spaces” across Kibera, run by program alumni Educated Children in Kibera know that education is powerful and are eager to go to school. It is a precious opportunity that is not taken for granted. CFK’s Illuminate with Education (Angaza na Elimu) program helps students reach their academic goals by providing school scholarships. But the program is about more than just scholarships, it’s about giving students support and tools for their personal growth. The Future Help more young scholars attend school and reach their career goals. This Year: 60,000 dollars in scholarship funding provided to students: primary through college 391 students receiving school scholarships 13 4 the power of PROSPERITY “I have been part of Taka ni Pato for seven years. Before then, I didn’t know what to do. Now I have a job, the structure of working and am learning administration. I like the job, we all like working here. It’s like our daily bread. It employs us. We are all friends that get to change the environment, and that’s because of Taka. Working here lets us help others learn the same Wilson Amin skills, we pass on what we know, which is what Kibera needs.” employee of Trash is Cash 14 How do you plan for the future without an income? When you wonder daily how to provide for your family, financial empowerment can mean the difference between eating and going hungry. Improved access to financial services and education is the foundation for long-term financial security and freedom. Imagine not worrying whether your child can eat today, but where they will go to college? This is our goal. By offering waste management services Saving a few shillings each day may in Kibera, our Trash is Cash (Taka not seem significant, but for a girl in ni Pato) program promotes creative Kibera, it can change her life.

We do it with teamwork and cooperation. By partnering with other organizations, large and small, CFK builds high-impact, low-cost programs. Our partners are diverse and their expertise enables us to innovate, expand and most importantly, deepen the impact we make in Kibera.

It’s their efforts which make sustainability and success possible. How many people does it take to change the world? While one person can spark change, it takes a community to make those changes grow. The Margaret Mead quote below embodies the spirit of CFK and all we’ve been able to accomplish in the past ten years. It’s what happens when people dedicate themselves to a common mission. Meet some of our family who, along with hundreds more like them, have worked tirelessly to meet our ambitious goals this year. “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” -Margaret Mead 4 Each year, CFK selects year-long fellows, like Kevin Diao and Lindsey Moore from UNC, to work both in the U.S. and in Kenya to help support program initiatives while gaining knowledge in areas of their academic interest. Local coaches like Oyamo and David lend their leadership to the Sports Association, helping shape young players and expanding the reach of the program year after year. 19 7 the power of Story “This is the first book I have read that has caused my heart to burn for so many people. Not just Tabitha, Salim, Kash and the detained Iraqi boys, but Rye, his wife, my colleagues in Iraq, my husband... It has truly been an enlightening experience to read the book. It gave me hope. It has helped me deal with emotions and questions I have harbored since my deployment and in my current quest to better understand conflict. Rye’s book has inspired me to become a doer.” Michelle Graves Schulze, U.S. Army Sergeant and reader 20 Can a story be powerful enough to inspire action? We think so. Our co-founder’s memoir and a documentary about youth in our sports program tell the stories of remarkable people with a passion for helping others.

Our daily discussions created an awareness and understanding that in Kibera families face ALL of these challenges every single day. Walking in the shoes (or no shoes) of others for only a day awakened our family’s compassion!” 22 What can I do? Turn inspiration into action! The story of how Tabitha Festo (pictured on left) was able to turn $26 into a small medical clinic is an exceptional example of how a modest amount of money in the hands of the right person can do so much for a community.

As we plan for the next ten years, our expansion and program additions will build on what we’ve learned from the past and be guided by the needs of the community. 24 After ten years, what now? With the rich history of our past and the promise of a remarkable future ahead, we lean forward. We will take our lead from the community of Kibera, building each program with the wisdom of experience. Above all, our focus remains clear: develop youth leadership, catalyze positive change, alleviate the suffering of abject poverty. Within our social programs, we will develop new ways to promote community cohesion, breaking down barriers of ethnicity and gender. Our sports program will reach new youth by adding additional sports and using recreation to teach important life skills. Our girls program will reach more girls with special needs like young mothers, HIV+ girls and those with physical disabilities. Our education program will move beyond classroom academics to build leadership excellence through experiential learning that broadens one’s worldview and stimulates action. From a health perspective, our emphasis is on expanding access to quality healthcare and disease prevention. We will continue to enhance the quality of care provided at our Tabitha Clinic and our other health referral and counseling sites. Complementing the services provided at the Tabitha Clinic with a network of local community health workers will allow us to reach more people and provide personalized in-home education and outreach. Economic empowerment drives lasting change. To ensure CFK’s members have opportunities for sustained livelihood, we will expand employment access for youth and budding entrepreneurs through enterprise training and work programs focused on growth markets. Organizationally, we are building a strong foundation. Professional development opportunities and crossdepartment trainings are enhancing the skill set and capacity of our diverse staff. Resource mobilization efforts in Kenya aim to provide funding for 50% of the organization’s budget by 2015 and our U.S. and Kenyan teams are both focused on growing our endowments to ensure long-term financial stability. These bold new initiatives will lead CFK info the future. The power of our community will make it possible.

A drop in total revenue caused us Who gave to CFK in FY2011? to use reserve funds to ensure that programs could continue to run smoothly.

This year, 96% of our expenses were used in support of programs. 98% individuals (just like you) We are often asked, who funds CFK? The truth is that CFK is still a relatively small organization funded by generous individual supporters. This fiscal year, 98% of our donors were individuals; the remaining 2% were foundations and corporations.

This was due in large part to the publicity generated by our outreach campaign and Rye Barcott’s book tour. It’s important to note that monies were raised specifically for the production of the documentary film and the 10th Anniversary Statement: outreach campaign to ensure that no program funds were used for INCOME Like residents of Kibera, we are prudent and intentional in the Interest Income Permanently Restricted Income Temporarily Restricted Income Unrestricted Income $7,521 $32,143 $401,551 $422,262 use of every dollar spent.
