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.
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
benefitting women benefits the whole community, cultivating a community ethos
that makes women respected members of society.
