Shining Hope for Communities is a non-profit organization founded in 2004 that empowers communities through empowering girls and women.

Potential Long Term Impact
Our model is ground breaking: linking the value placed in girls' education with essential services for all. There is a desperate need to extend beyond Kibera to developing countries around the globe, changing the daily realities of 600 million girls and women.
