ABOUT

Thank you for ten years
steps for children

– DR. MICHAEL HOPPE, FOUNDER

We at steps for children are driven by our passion to help Namibian children and families in need. Throughout the past decade, we have worked to turn around the lives of children coming from especially dire backgrounds. Our Foundation’s work is focused on sustainability and education and last but not least we want to give hope to children and families who have known such hardship: By presenting a perspective for a better life.

With you, our donors, volunteers, employees and friends, our visions became reality. In order to celebrate our 10th anniversary and to raise awareness for the circumstances in Namibia, we have created this website and gathered several short films to give you an insight into our work at steps for children.

PAST & FUTURE

Ten years ago, we started out with a simple idea. We wanted to help children in need in Namibia. During the past decade, our idea has become reality and we have been able to grow with our responsibilities. With the help of our many friends and supporters all around the world we have become a respected foundation dedicated to our clear goal.

Education is the most effective tool to help children in a sustainable way. Throughout the past ten years, we have supported more than thousand children and have earned the trust of the local Namibian community. In cooperation with local organizations, our social steps, such as pre-schools, soup kitchens and after-school care help the children to develop and to become independent persons.

Our vision for the future is financial independence from donations. With this in mind we have created the income generating steps. Our farms provide our soup kitchens at schools with fresh vegetables and therefore make possible a healthy meal for our children. However the farmers also sell their home-grown peppers, spinach and corn on the local markets and secure through this their living.

Many parents cannot afford to send their children to school. We are helping these families to offer their children an education, where it is needed most. Our guardian angel programme helps the children to make a difference for their future and to realize their dreams.

SARA

Many children in Namibia lose their parents because of HIV, AIDS or other diseases. We help these orphans to find a new home within an already existing family. It is wonderful to see these children growing up in the loving and caring environment of our step homes. steps for children is additionally supporting these families with school materials, medical care and food.
