Vision & Mission
A-STEP was created with the main aim of helping children and youth to unlock their talents and potentials and transform their community. Children and youth who are targeted come from rural and urban area firstly in Uasin Gishu county and nowadays in Kakamega county. This region has been experiencing challenges with Idle youth and kids because of single headed families, lack of parental care, HIV/AIDS and poverty.
This idleness has numerous results such as academic failure, a high rate of crime, early marriage and teen pregnancy, drugs & alcohol abuse. Besides this, a part of the youth-community faces challenges of discouragement due to lack of opportunity as a result of poverty or lack of education. This discouragement makes them vulnerable for bad influences of several different natures.
However, children and youth have shown the potential of development through sports in very challenging environments. They have used sport as alternative occupation, to pass time, entertainment, connectedness and peaceful coexistence. Tremendous successes have been achieved with talents becoming role models.
The preceding situation has inspired A-STEP to formulate a vision and mission as follows:
