An Important Message to Friends and Supporters of the Children of Kibera Foundation

March 7, 2013
from:
Rob Norton, Chairman of the Board
Ken Okoth, Founder and Executive Director
On behalf of the Children of Kibera Foundation (CoKF), we write to share the exciting news that Ken Okoth has been elected to represent the Kibra Constituency as a Member of Parliament in Kenya. The Foundation’s Board of Directors has been working closely with Ken and his team to prepare for this outcome. As Founder of CoKF, Ken will continue to play a leading role in fundraising and guiding the overall mission of our organization. Ken will be visiting the United States later this year to continue building the network of friends and supporters who have been essential to the success of the Foundation.

As Ken moves to his new responsibilities in Parliament, our Board is working to maintain and strengthen the foundation’s work and to ensure a smooth and effective leadership transition. We have already been working closely with the CoKF leadership team in Kibera, including Operations Director Jeff Ochieng and Academic Director Jacob Seje, to ensure that the Foundation continues to deliver the highest quality service to children and families who depend on our support. As a new school year has started in Kenya, Jeff and Jacob have demonstrated exceptional leadership, teamwork, and skill as they have worked to roll out the important services CoKF delivers to children and families. In addition, our Board has reinforced the long-term sustainability of our on-the-ground programs by working to strengthen our financial operations and to begin the modernization of our fundraising and donor relations activities. Simply put, the future of CoKF is brighter than ever.

Over the coming weeks, we will assess the Foundation's organizational needs and identify the management structure and team that will be in the best position to advance our mission. We will keep you updated on this important work. In the meantime, to our many friends and donors, we again say, "thank you". We have an exciting opportunity to build on our success and to help more children follow in the footsteps of Ken Okoth. The future of CoKF is brighter than ever.

Sincerely,

Rob and Ken
