The world is home to more than 1.1 billion girls under age 18, who are poised to become the largest generation of female leaders, entrepreneurs and change-makers the world has ever seen.
SHOFCO believes that women and girls are the key to making long lasting change in the communities they serve. SHOFCO’s two tuition-free schools for girls in the Kibera and Mathare slums teach an innovative curriculum that encourages girls to dream big and empowers them with the skills and self-confidence they need to reach those dreams. Educating a girl from the urban slums has a ripple effect, as their students are poised to become advocates for their communities and lead transformative change in Kenya and worldwide.
