Why We Exist
Empowering Communities, Advancing Equality, and Driving Sustainable Change
Founded in 2019, Safe Steps Foundation Kenya (SSF-K) was born out of a deep commitment to addressing the persistent challenges faced by marginalized communities in governance, climate change, and gender equality. What started as a grassroots initiative has grown into a leading non-governmental organization (NGO) dedicated to promoting social accountability, sustainable development, and human rights advocacy.
Built on the resilient spirit of the communities we serve, our work is guided by the principles of equity, sustainability, innovation, and inclusion. We empower individuals through education, advocacy, and community-driven solutions to create long-term impact.
How We Make a Difference
Training & Capacity Building – Equipping communities with skills in governance, environmental stewardship, and gender advocacy through workshops and educational programs.
Advocacy & Policy Influence – Driving policy change and promoting social accountability to ensure the voices of marginalized groups are heard.
Innovation for Change – Encouraging creative solutions to local challenges through innovation workshops.
