Description:
RECREASPORT, as can be denoted from the name, values recreation and sport for and through fitness. Our fitness services, mainly outdoor aerobics, are targeted at school children and the community at large. We make use mainly of outdoor facilities i.e. open spaces designated by the local government authorities for public utility. The project aims to bring fitness services to the doorstep of the community at very minimal charges, thus increasing accessibility to the highly commercialized, institutionalized and scarce service. By doing so, we will be fighting the problem of hypokinetic/lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, obesity, hypertension among others. The issue of childhood obesity has been of great concern to Kenyan recently as can be seen in the attention it is getting from the media lately. The project will also end up building a pool of certified instructors thus creating employment for hundreds of youth across the country. These same youth will then assist in combating lifestyle diseases that are posing a problem to our people while protecting and conserving the open spaces for posterity against land grabbing. At Recreasport, we play the day\'s sway away!!!

LOW POWER-LOW INTEREST

This group includes the general public, local media and other clientele apart from the targeted ones. They want to know what is going on with the project/organization but have or may not actually sign up for the project activities/services.

LOW POWER-HIGH INTEREST

This group includes the instructors’ certification body/institution, other instructors, other fitness entities and Physical Education Teachers in schools. They have knowledge of the industry as well as standards and best practices. They assist in related projects including training and development. Thus, there is need to build a relationship with them.

HIGH POWER-LOW INTEREST

Sponsors and sources of funding fall in this category. Their continued support in finances keep the project going but they are not interested in direct involvement in the project as long as it is going on as per plans and mutual objectives. The paying clientele will pay for our services but may not want to dig deeper into its operations. All they want is value for their money.

HIGH POWER-HIGH INTEREST

The project creators as well as the team directly involved in its operations fall under this category that needs close management. Instructors, interns and trainers are included here. They determine the direction which the business takes; introduce new service offerings as well as new activities for the community. Moreover, they are the main part of the \"service encounter\" and make a living from the project.
