Director's remarks
Working with the youth from the slums in Nairobi is a tricky affair. It calls for patience, tolerance and a high sense of knowledge about; their basic characteristics, unpredictable changes in what they like or dislike and the ability to cope with these changing trends in their overall behaviour. Working with youth in the slums enables one to understand that their indulgence in social vices is only a cry for attention. Young people love inclusion. They like being recognized appreciated in whatever they do and encouraged.
It is evidently a fact that youth within the ages 15-35 years are a resourceful group in terms of their creativity, intelligence and vigor.  In this regard therefore, the society is challenged to realize the potential of this energetic group so that they can also participate in the maintenance and sustainability of their respective communities. This is only way that they would feel they are part and parcel of their communities and hence get a sense of belonging.

Mission

To build the capacity of disadvantaged communities through provision of quality social services in areas of community Media & ICT, Reproductive Health and other social economic initiatives.

 
Why SIDAREC?
SIDAREC was therefore formed after the realization that there are too many young people idling around the communities with little or nothing to do after completing their education or dropping out of school for various social reasons.
 
Vision

Empowered people from disadvantaged communities with easy access to information, resources and other opportunities that enable the to lead decent lives based on social justice ideals.

 

People in Kenya aren’t poor because they lack resources, but because they lack knowledge on how to use their resources
