About Shekinah CBO

Our journey, mission, and commitment to community transformation

Our Story

Shekinah Community-Based Organization was born out of a deep desire to bring hope, healing, and opportunity to the most vulnerable in our community. What began as a small local initiative has grown into a trusted grassroots movement—committed to uplifting women, youth, and children through education, health support, and empowerment programs.

Guided by compassion and a vision for lasting change, we work hand-in-hand with the communities we serve. Every step we take is inspired by real stories, real struggles, and a shared belief that together, we can build a brighter future for all.

Our name "Shekinah" represents the divine presence - reflecting our belief in bringing light and hope to the darkest situations in our communities.
