From Korogocho to the Olympics: Eliza Akinyi's Inspiring Journey | CAFOD

For ten years, we funded a sports centre in a neighbourhood next to Africa’s largest unregulated landfill site in Nairobi, Kenya.
Here Elizabeth Akinyi fulfilled her potential as a boxer, and she went on to represent Kenya in the Tokyo Olympics!

CAFOD stands for the Catholic Agency For Overseas Development. We are an international development charity and the official aid agency of the Catholic Church in England and Wales.
We stand beside people living in poverty - whatever their religion or culture. Through local Church partners, we help people directly in their own communities, and campaign for global justice, so that everyone can reach their full potential.
CAFOD works in communities across Africa, Asia and Latin America.
