About Us

Our projects are organized in Kenya and Czech Republic. Our sister organisation ShineBean Kenya implements all our project into Kenya. We work together and we do all decission together too.
   We are responsible, fair and creative. We enjoy looking for new paths and ossibilities. We come from various walks of life and fields, which we try to put together in order to come up with innovative methods and approaches. We share an interest in helping people who find themselves in a difficult situation due to poverty.
   ShineBean is active in the Czech Republic where we focus mostly on development
education and global responsibility issues in Czech cities, villages and local action groups.
Since 2006, we have been active in Kenya where we run a number of projects that aim to improve economic self-sufficiency among local people and, in collaboration with local schools, we are also involved in school education. Our aim is to support innovative approaches to business and farming, promote traditional African crops, foster respect for their own culture, and to fight prejudice and stereotypes.
