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.
