We Make a
Difference in their
Life
CKF was founded to respond to the growing need for structured support for rural MSMEs in Kenya, following the success of Fashion on the Road (FOTR), which trained rural artisans and connected them to urban markets.
FOTR revealed challenges that extended beyond specific industries—many MSMEs lacked access to essential services, including capacity-building, financial empowerment, and market access.
Our Purpose: CKF was established to address these gaps by offering comprehensive MSME development programs aimed at building sustainable businesses within Kenya’s underserved communities.
Vision: To be the leading catalyst of sustainable economic empowerment for MSMEs in Kenya, bridging the gap between rural communities and urban/global markets.
Mission: To empower MSMEs through tailored training, innovation, and financial access, fostering an inclusive economy that supports women, youth, and marginalized groups.
“Empowering women and youth is the cornerstone of sustainable development.”
