What is the issue, problem, or challenge?

Shining Hope for Communities is a non-profit organization founded in 2004 that empowers communities through empowering girls and women. Shining Hope's innovative, community-driven model combats extreme poverty and gender inequity by linking tuition-free schools for girls to a set of accessible, comprehensive community services for all.

How will this project solve this problem?

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.
