Shining Hope for Communities
has developed an innovative, community-driven model to combat

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

jobs.
We also operate the Johanna

women respected members of society.
