Kennedy Odede grew up in Kenya's Kibera slum, where he experienced first hand the devastating realities of life in extreme poverty. His experience led him to launch Shining Hope for Communities, or SHOFCO, an organization that impacts over 2.4 million slum dwellers across 17 urban slums in Kenya. Today Kennedy is one of Africa’s best-known community organizers and social entrepreneurs.
Kennedy is also one of the hosts of the “Inclusive Cities: Last Mile Delivery in Slums and Informal Settlements”, which was held as part of Expo 2020 Dubai. His entire life is an answer to the question: What does my community need?
