Kibera School for Girls is a free school for girls in Kibera run by Shining Hope for Communities (SHOFCO), the community organisation started by Kennedy Odede and Jessica Posner. It admitted its first class in 2009 and teaches girls from pre-primary through the primary years at no cost to families. Alongside the national curriculum the school puts weight on leadership, life skills, community service and clubs, including an environmental club whose rooftop gardens supply the school feeding programme. Families are linked to SHOFCO's health and other programmes, and leavers are supported into secondary schools across Kenya. A sister school runs in Mathare.
