We enter into a collaboration based on partnership that builds on the strengths of the volunteers. You will carry out the tasks independently and on your own responsibility in coordination with the foundation team.

Deposit for steps
The favorite supermarket near your work doesn't have a deposit box for a good cause yet? Then ask there if the empties vouchers could benefit steps for children and we can set up a nice little homemade box there. We would be happy to support you with this project!

information stands
Become a team member as a volunteer and support our work in direct communication at African festivals! We are looking for communicative personalities who are convinced teamworkers and are interested in development cooperation and enjoy networking.

Handicrafts and building
Art classes are ideal for designing pictures and models that are auctioned off in favor of steps. On the one hand, the pupils learn how an auction works, on the other hand, winning the small campaign turns them into steps - because this is used to finance school supplies.

Build empties receipt box
In the craft class, a box for empty vouchers can be built yourself, which is then hung in a shop of your choice. Optionally, you can also decorate a mailbox in art classes. The pupils are given the responsibility to check and empty the box at regular intervals.

Short film about the campaign with the school
Report and show the commitment of your school in a short film: what actions have you taken so far, how did you get the idea? Do an interview with the initiators or film during the action. Your creativity knows no bounds.

Project week
What does steps for children do? Why do we get involved in Namibia? How did we get started? Who founded us? How many projects do we have in Namibia? There is a lot to research and explore. Dedicate a project day or a project week to the children and young people, in which they learn about life in Namibia and our aid projects. At the end of the session you can tell others about it in a nice presentation and start a run or other action in favor of steps.
