A local participant in Shining Hope for Communities' (SHOFCO) development program gives senior leaders from U.S. Africa Command a presentation on a vocational skill being taught by SHOFCO’s outreach efforts in Nairobi, Kenya, Nov. 26, 2024. 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. Combatting threats that drive instability starts with 3D,” said U.S. Marine Corps Gen. Michael Langley, commander, AFRICOM. “As a 3D organization when enabling our African partners in a unified effort to promote regional security and prosperity, it requires a whole of government effort – Development, Diplomacy, and Defense.” (U.S. Department of Defense courtesy photo by Shining Hope for Communities)
