A local participant in Shining Hope for Communities (SHOFCO) development program gives U.S. Marine Corps Gen. Michael Langley, commander, U.S. Africa Command a presentation on water sanitation efforts provided by SHOFCO’s outreach efforts in Nairobi, Kenya, Nov. 26, 2024. Providing very low-cost water to the Kibera community as well as water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) education facilitated by community health workers is one of five approaches SHOFCO takes to provide critical services to the local community. While in Kenya, SHOFCO gave AFRICOM direct access to see how its community-led model for transformation is providing health care, sustainable livelihood programs, essential services, clean water, and building female leadership in impoverished communities to create lasting change.
