3 October was not only German Unity Day, but a symbolic day for steps for children. In Stuttgart, on that day Martina Pracht met Mrs Kerstin Thiele, Chair of the Ernst Prost Foundation for Afrika, where we thanked them for their wonderful support. The Ernst Prost Foundation for Africa provided the following assistance in Gobabis in 2016/2017: covering the salary of a cook, financing meals for 250 children for one year, sponsoring 10 Schutzengel children, supporting 5 steps homes families.

With great gratitude for these wonderful contributions, we presented Mrs Thiele „symbolically“ with a soup cookbook, a recipe mix and a card from our Schutzengel children.

We are delighted that the Ernst Prost Foundation for Africa has pledged this funding for another year, even at an increased level. In doing so, the foundation makes a significant contribution to the follow-on financing of basic care and sustainable education for children in need in the projects of steps for children in the poverty-stricken district of Gobabis.

Warmest thanks for this renewed, meaningful support and for the trust in steps for children!
