Volunteering is a valuable and indispensable component of our work. Volunteering contributes significantly to the successful development of our projects and thus to the sustainable support of children and young people in Namibia affected by poverty and HIV/AIDS.
Whether as a volunteer nationwide or through voluntary work in Hamburg - you are involved with the steps for children foundation for fairer educational opportunities in the world and build bridges between cultures. 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.
Choose your opportunities to get involved in our work, depending on your experience and skills, your personal needs and opportunities, and where you live.
It's that easy:
- All possibilities
- As a school
- As a company
- As an individual
Own fundraiser
Your own small fundraiser works: make a sensible gift and enable education together with your happy birthday children and adolescents in Namibia. For example, you can help a school class make the first trip of a lifetime, sponsor a guardian angel child, or secure a steps homes family for a whole year.
Set up the donation box
It is possible to set up donation boxes almost everywhere: whether you ask the favorite clothes shop around the corner that is currently supporting a social project or the small restaurant across the street that always cooks so well. Or do you have a small shop yourself?
Collect lids for a good cause
cover of
-
Bottle caps
-
larger twist-off lids (e.g. from pickle jars)
can be handed in at Goldbekplatz 2 in Hamburg (or other collection points). Then you choose your heart project steps for children and with your help 2 seedlings can soon be planted in Ongombombonde!
Print a poster here out and stick the info on a cover collection box!
volunteer engagement
Would you like to help out with us? Then simply fill out our questionnaire and describe how you could support us. We have already given you some ideas, but you can also make suggestions yourself.
We look forward to hearing from you!
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.
Network communication
You can also help easily from home. Share our contributions, rate our page or place one of our lovingly created banners on your own website, blog or in a newsletter.
Run for steps
A donation run is a sporting challenge for the students, promotes their health and at the same time helps children in Namibia. For every kilometer run, a sponsor makes a donation as a motivating incentive.
Festivals and bazaars
Through a joint cooking or baking campaign, the students get to know new recipes and at the same time can sell their delicious results at a summer party, Christmas bazaar or flea market for donations. This enables the feeding of AIDS orphans in our projects.
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.
Start your own action
Whether as a group, as a school or as an individual: start your own campaign in favor of steps for children.
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.
Make an image film with Video AG
Make a short film about steps with your friends. Visit, for example, one of our information stands and ask for existing video material from the projects. Find a main topic that the film should cover, for example, pre-school or afternoon care.
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.
The sensible gift
The inauguration party is just around the corner, a new person has been born, the wedding or company anniversary are being celebrated? We are happy to issue a certificate and the purpose of the donation for each occasion.
Shopping and doing good
With the Amazon Smile platform, you can easily donate while shopping.
Best of all, you have no additional costs and only pay for what you want to buy anyway. Amazon donates 0,5% of the purchase amount to a charity of your choice - that is, to steps for children, of course.
