From its humble beginning, SIDAREC developed and changed status to a non-governmental organization thanks to the spirit of volunteerism and the love of the community. This culminated into the building of a community resource center in Majengo Pumwani Division. SIDAREC has so far established three resource centres in three major slums in Nairobi namely PUMWANI, MUKURU and KIBERA serving a combined population of over 1.5 million people.
