Ark for Social Development in Kenya (ASDIK) is registered in Kenya as a non-government organization. ASDIK began life in 2009, founded by a team of four young people who desired to empower and improve the lives of marginalized individuals within their communities. We do this by strengthening grass root co-operation to improve social and economic development. Our work is focused on poverty eradication for women, children and youth, as well as enabling social inclusion for the elderly, those with disabilities, and those marginalized from society and development.
