Steering demand-driven impact in communities
Steer initiative is passionate about three core areas, access to education, access to technical skills, and provision of basic amenities to communities. Our priority is to drive social change and contribute to sustainable development across Africa.
We work where change is needed! We prioritize where demand is high! We collaborate with people of like passion!
“Steer is currently rooted in West Africa but has the vision to reach more people beyond the continent.”
01.
— Steer Education
Steer organically identifies children and youths, who have no access to education and creates tailored programs to sponsor their education. We also proactively design digital skills programs, to provide teachers, instructors, and institutions with the technical capacity to strengthen their education system.
02.
— Steer Skill Acquisition
Steer organizes skill acquisition programs for diverse groups of people to support their journey to financial freedom by training them on specific skills and trade that will over time serve as a source of income for them. Our skill acquisition program includes the use of digital tools, learning of a trade, and access to professional courses and programs.
03.
— Steer Social Outreach
Our social outreaches are structured to bring Steer’s volunteers together with communities in need of support through a participatory solution delivery system. Steer organizes social outreaches to address social issues, such as lack of access to basic amenities, food, and sanitary materials in communities.
