Welcome! Karibu sana!
A-STEP is a Community Organization that is impartial and independent in its nature. It is accountable to its partners and beneficiaries. The overall goal of the website is to formally educate and provide adequate information to the citizens of counties where we have activities i.e. Kakamega and Elgeyo Marakwet (and eventually the general audience within and outside Kenya) and for them to keep abreast with the activities and programs of A-STEP. The website provides a gateway to the community, partners and beneficiaries to make available a new batch of knowledge about A-STEP and its service in general. A-STEP, through its website, will thus promote, maintain and enhance levels of awareness, better understanding and appreciation of its role in the Community and the range of services it provides to the general public. A-STEP website will continuously update the target population on the major developments, and any other matters about the team working for the organization. The website will be used as a tool to keep partners and beneficiaries conversant with the operations of A-STEP and to encourage the target population to give feedback on whether or not A-STEP is living by its pledges. I would, wholeheartedly like to urge all who browse our website to give us feedback and advise where to alter and improve the website to be compatible with other websites in the rest of the world. Enjoy your browsing. Sincerely yours, Timothy Lusala Founder/ Program Director |
A-STEP Foundation operates in Kakamega and Elgeyo Marakwet Counties in Kenya. The organization promotes among the youth and children from urban slums and the rural poor. We mobilise, motivate, train and develop young people to liberate them from social ills such as crime, poverty, prostitution, drug abuse, delinquency and violence among others. We particularly harness the power of sports for peace building and conflict management. We also manage conflicts through youth mobilization and engagement. A-STEP’s development intervention is through value-based sports, nurturing talents and youth empowerment for sustainability. We have over 18 years’ experience in using sports for development.
