Supporting & Empowering One Kenyan Village At A Time
WHAT IS SHED A LIGHT?
Shed a Light Initiative is a 501(c)(3) community-based organization located in Nanyuki, Kenya. In 2014. The Organization was formed with a focus to better their community through self-empowerment, especially for youth and women. The founders of Shed a Light are some of the first people to attend secondary school, college, and university in the area and have the determination to build up their community in hopes of a better tomorrow.
Vision for Financial Independence: The Tour Van Project
With a one-time investment Shed A Light can become self sustaining. Shed A Light tours will generate the entire charity budget through 3-4 safari tours per month.
Instead of relying solely on donor funding, we will create a sustainable, locally powered revenue stream that permanently protects our Adult Literacy and Computer Classes, expands High School Sponsorships for girls on our waiting list, and builds a financial safety net for long-term stability.
This is more than a van—it’s a self-sustaining engine for opportunity, dignity, and growth.
