I tell the story of a kid born to a teen mom who didn't attend real school and lived on the streets--and used his knowledge to start a bottom-up development organization called @hope2shine that now is one of the biggest grassroots movements in Africa. Lessons for the US as well.

[Jessica Posner Odede @JessRPosner]

Thank you @NickKristof for shining hope! @hope2shine

[Nicholas Kristof @NickKristof]

Overcoming poverty is hard, whether in Nairobi or Los Angeles, but visit the gritty Kibera slum in Kenya and you find some lessons for all the world--and cause for sober reflection. Also, for those who think my columns are depressing, a ton of hope! https://t.co/AnVzdV82oa

10+ years ago, we shared “The Clock is Ticking.” Fast-forward to today, and the clock is STILL ticking. The time to act is now.

We need to empower girls to unlock their power
