Turning 20: Two Decades of Grassroots Leadership
2024 was a remarkable year for SHOFCO. We celebrated our 20th anniversary while sharpening our focus on community-driven solutions. As Kennedy Odede notes in his opening letter, SHOFCO’s future is not about delivering services to people, but enabling people to drive their own solutions with dignity, agency, and power. From Kibera to 36 counties across Kenya, SHOFCO is walking alongside communities as they claim ownership of their future.

In 2023, SHOFCO marked 20 years of empowering communities, reaching over 2.4 million people across Kenya. From delivering clean water to advancing education, health, and financial services, SHOFCO’s holistic approach continues to transform lives in informal settlements.

In 2022, SHOFCO reached 2.4 million lives across 32 counties, providing clean water, education, health, and empowerment programs. Together, we’re transforming urban poverty into urban promise.
