Partnership discussion with FGCK Kangemi began in the summer of 2010, and David and Esther were trained during the month of September. Official launching took place on September 26, 2010. During the following week of recruitment, over 90 potential clients were identified. Only the most needy could be addressed at first. Normal center operations began in November 2010.

Located in Kangemi
Kangemi is a slum on the Northwestern outskirts of Nairobi, along the Nakuru highway. It is very densely populated and includes many residents who commute into Nairobi attempting to find work. Its high density and poverty has led to a high rate of HIV infection, which is why CFA was compelled to work in the area.
