Kennedy Odede grew up in Kibera, Africa's largest urban slum, and lived the realities of extreme poverty. But Kennedy saw a way out and after receiving an education in the US he returned to Kibera and founded Shining Hope for Communities. What started as a school for girls turned into a movement to fight gender inequality and extreme poverty by linking tuition free schools for girls to access to social services for all. What he and his wife Jessica do is as inspiring as it courageous.... this is after all a big fight. But this video makes it easy to see where they find their inspiration. The faces of these girls (not to mention the dance moves!) brings a smile to my face.
