Open Position: Adult Education Teacher
Location: Kibera,
Nairobi
About the Organization:
Shining Hope for Communities has developed an innovative, community-driven
model to combat inter-generational cycles of poverty and gender inequality in
Nairobi’s Kibera slum. We link free schools for girls to accessible social
services for all. About the Organization:
In August 2009, we founded The Kibera School for Girls, the
first entirely free school for girls in Kibera. The second step of our model
provides the community-at-large with tangible benefits through a community
center adjacent to the school.
The unique services we offer include sanitary eco-toilets, a
library and cyber café, gardens and food security, gender violence support,
microenterprise for HIV positive women, a youth center, access to water,
business and literacy training, and hundreds of jobs. We also operate the
Johanna Justin-Jinich Community Clinic, which specializes in primary care and
maternal health.
By investing in health and economic success through a school for
girls, we demonstrate that benefiting women benefits the whole community,
cultivating a community ethos that makes women respected members of society.
