Our Core Values (SCAPII )

Our Story

Shared Values Foundation was founded on a simple but powerful conviction: lasting change begins with values.

Across communities, we observed that many social and economic challenges are not only technical, but deeply rooted in questions of leadership, responsibility, and purpose. We exist to help address these gaps by shaping leaders and initiatives grounded in integrity, service, and community.

Our Focus Areas

Faithful to our core values, Shared Values Foundation’s programs are geared to supporting the humanity, good causes and the realization of Sustainable Development Goals; particularly, SDG’s 1, 3. 4, 5, 6, 8 and 13, through our work with Kenyan communities. Our route to programing is what we call Pathways to Prosperity (P2P) which encompass quality and equitable Education, basic health and well-being, gender, safe water and sanitation, environmental health and climate action, and socio-economic empowerment programmes.

Quality and Equitable Education

We collaborate with local government and the Ministry of Education, addressing barriers through support services like learning materials, psychosocial support, community mobilization to challenge cultural practices. We partner aiming to support children and youth through formal, non-formal, and vocational pathways .

Basic Health and Wellbeing.

Communities facing severe health challenges due to lack of access to basic services and cultural barriers are supported by Shared Values Foundation through partnerships and initiatives addressing issues like malnutrition, cultural practices, and preventive healthcare, aiming for sustainable impact.

Socio-Economic Empowerment

SVF addresses agricultural and pastoralist communities' vulnerabilities to climate change in eight target counties through sustainable livelihood programs, including training in modern farming techniques, access to capital, climate change adaptation, and market linkages, fostering resilience and economic empowerment.

Stories of Grass to Grace

Nasike Legupa is a young girl from Samburu County whose early life was marked by loss, neglect, and extreme vulnerability. At just ten years old, Nasike narrowly escaped forced Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and an arranged marriage by fleeing her home in the early hours of the morning. Her life changed when she was rescued and taken to Suguta Girls Rescue Centre, a safe haven for girls fleeing FGM. It was there that the Shared Values Foundation team met Nasike during a community visit. Through the support of SVF and its partners, Nasike was enrolled at Mary Immaculate Girls Boarding School in Mweiga. Today, Nasike is thriving in school, settled, and hopeful. She dreams of becoming a lawyer—driven by a desire to protect other girls from the injustices she escaped.
