Spes for community was founded by Masika Meresi in 2022 years after Masika becoming a single mother of two boys.
Masika lost her job immediately after becoming a single mother. She didn’t give up on her dreams of empowering, advocating for women and adolescent’s formal education because she believed despite of all the challenges, solutions to our problems lies within us so she turned to GOD for strength and help.
Living in her community for over 30 years, Masika witnessed the extreme poverty, gender inequality, unemployment among illiterate women, high rates of student school drop outs, high rates of teenage pregnancy, Masika thought it was time to re-write the narrative, turning her pain into something positive for her community when her life hit rock bottom.
