Why We Exist
Safe Steps Foundation Kenya was established out of a profound commitment to drive meaningful change in our society. Founded in 2019, we emerged from a collective realization that marginalized communities consistently faced challenges related to governance, climate change, and gender inequality. Our journey began with grassroots initiatives aimed at empowering these communities, and over the years, we have evolved into a leading non-governmental organization (NGO) that champions social accountability and advocates for sustainable practices. Our foundation has been built on the resilient spirit of the communities we serve, and as we continue our work, we remain dedicated to the principles of equity, sustainability, innovation, and inclusion.
We achieve this through;
Training and Capacity Building – We offer workshops and training programs that equip community members with essential skills in governance, environmental stewardship, and gender advocacy.
Advocacy Programs – Our advocacy efforts focus on influencing policy change and promoting social accountability, ensuring that the voices of marginalized communities are heard.
Innovation Workshops – By fostering creativity and innovation, we help communities develop unique solutions to their local challenges.
Educational Resources – We develop and distribute educational materials that inform and inspire community members about their rights and responsibilities.
Focus on women’s rights
The majority of the human rights work we support focuses on promoting the rights of women.
Throughout the world, women and girls encounter all kinds of discrimination because of their gender. The most significant gender-related human rights violations include violence against women and forced marriages. Women often do not have the same proprietary rights or ability to participate in society or receive education as men do. Women belonging to a minority are often in the hardest position. They may experience discrimination not only because of their gender but also because of their origin, skin color, disability or other characteristic.
Through these offerings, we work to create an informed and engaged populace ready to tackle the issues they face.
