Health Records and Information Officer
Organizational Overview
Shining Hope for
Communities (SHOFCO) combats extreme poverty and gender inequity in Kenya by
linking tuition-free schools for girls to a set of high-value, holistic
community services for the urban poor. In our model, a girls’ school becomes a
portal for large-scale social change.
Through a demand-driven approach to grassroots development, our model extends beyond the schools for girls, broadening outreach by providing communities with integrated basic services through three other initiatives: health, community empowerment, and clean water and sanitation.
