Here’s why we are supporting these projects.
Michael and Asha are just two of the millions of children in Africa whose lives have been caught up in a cycle of poverty, unemployment, homelessness and disease. Footsteps International works to break this vicious cycle by providing homes for street children like Michael and orphans like Asha, as well as education and training, wheelchairs for the disabled and new homes for poor widows. Our sewing projects have brought new hope to women in the Nairobi slums.
It’s easy to be overwhelmed by the scale of these problems, but Michael and Asha are proof that everyone can make a difference to someone!
Footsteps is a link between those who need help, and those that are willing to provide it. A small amount of support can make a big difference to a needy child or desperate adult.
Top: Michael. Bottom: Asha.
