Since childhood, Kennedy Odede faced intolerable hardship, but he never let a bad draw undermine his determination to uplift both himself and his community. It’s not until you hear Mr. Odede speak that you can believe he holds such a positive and hopeful outlook on life. Together with his wife, Jessica Posner, Kennedy has grown Shining Hope for Communities into a powerhouse of change for Kenya’s largest slum and beyond. Last October they released their book Find Me Unafraid: Love, Loss, and Hope in an African Slum, which has recently been released on paperback.
In this episode, Kennedy and Jessica discuss the key to community-driven solutions to poverty. Both inspiring and practical, they reveal the challenges behind empowerment and the methods that have worked well for their organization. You’ll learn:
How to adopt a partnership mindset that’s actually fruitful
Why empowerment isn’t just in the hands of nonprofits
How SHOFCO enables leaders within the communities where they work
How SHOFCO’s holistic approach to poverty works
How to tell the stories of beneficiaries on the ground to donors in the US
