- Write the donation account of steps for children on the invitation and a clear keyword, For example, „Christmas party Müller family“ or „Christmas party Team F“.
- Have you decided on a specific donation purpose to be supported by the donations? If you do not make a selection, the donations will be used where they are particularly needed. However, you are also welcome to make a of our donation requirements to choose from: For example, you can become guardian angels together for Christmas.
- You can also ask us to create a customised fundraising campaign so that you only need one Link or QR code to your guests.

The steps for children foundation empowers children and young adults in southern Africa to break the cycle of poverty on their own through education and training. We create income opportunities that secure people's livelihoods in the long term. In the long term, our activities should be financially self-sustaining.
We are convinced that education is not only a basic right, but also the key to breaking the cycle of poverty through our own efforts.
The steps teams from Namibia and Germany wish you a cosy pre-Christmas season!

Important information on collection donations
Dear supporters, you would like to get involved with steps and collect donations for us. Thank you very much. This is a great support for our projects in Namibia. We would like to point out that it is not possible under tax law for us to issue you with a donation receipt for a collective donation amount you have transferred or to name the names and individual amounts of donors involved in donation campaigns - according to the data protection rules of the GDPR. However, we are happy to provide you with the total amount of your fundraising campaign if you have agreed on a keyword. If you collect cash donations for us, we will issue donation receipts for the individual cash donors, provided that they also provide us with individual names, addresses and the date of receipt of the cash donation when making the collective donation. All individual donations made to our account as part of a fundraising campaign will, of course, receive a donation receipt if you provide your name, address and the agreed keyword.
