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.
The unique services we offer include
sanitary eco-toilets, a library and cyber café, 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.
