Project Coordinator, Project Coordinator (Hearing Aid) at Shining Hope for Communities
Shining Hope for Communities has developed an innovative, community driven model to combat intergenerational cycles of poverty and gender inequality in Nairobi’s Kibera slum.
We link free schools for girls to accessible social services for all. 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 ecotoilets, 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 benefiting women benefits the whole community, cultivating a community ethos that makes women respected members of society.
