the PEACE STETERS is an association that is found in kaduna state of Nigeria and thier main objectives are comunity building as well as youth empowerment through her successful projects that include
* skills aquisation programmes
* counceling
* public enlightenment programmes
* social and moral development projects
* firt aid and other health related programmes

But this association only cames into exstance may 2007 but has been successful in most of her projects.

Actually we have been hering about the NAPEP programmes but we are not fully convinced that it truely exist, because we have seen non of it positive effect to the lives of our community youth.

association is ever ready to render any kind of support to develop and empower the youth when ever the need arise as long as it is not beyound the power of the association.
