#ICYMI Last week I enjoyed warm hospitality from Kibera residents when I visited SHOFCO (SHOFCO) community empowerment projects that are creating jobs for women & youth and improving sanitation & access to clean water. Remarkable!

I tell the story of a kid born to a teen mom who didn't attend real school and lived on the streets--and used his knowledge to start a bottom-up development organization called SHOFCO that now is one of the biggest grassroots movements in Africa. Lessons for the US as well.
