SIDAREC is a youth development organization operating in the urban slums, Kenya.  The organization was established with an aim of tapping and consolidating skills and talents existing within the community especially the youths, for the common benefit of slum dwellers. The wisdom behind this reasoning is that, a lot on untapped resources exist in communities and if acknowledged and harnessed together would be useful in bringing the much needed positive development change under the concept, “Community problems need community solutions.”
The organization believes that the slum community has a lot of potential in terms of talents and skills and if members are empowered and mobilized to create positive change, they will eventually raise their standards of living. Just as the future of any nation lies on its youthful citizens, so does SIDARECs. SIDAREC place a lot of emphasis on the role of the youths in bringing positive change in their community and Kenya as a whole.
