Commitment that moves: The Nawka family in the service of a good cause
The Nawka family visited our steps location in Okakarara, Namibia, in September last year. But this was not their first visit: they came to steps in Okakarara in 2010, four years after the project was founded. And it was then, when Britta was pregnant with Hannah, that their extraordinary commitment to supporting disadvantaged children began. In addition to getting to know the steps work, playing sports and playing with the children, they took part in a training course on the subject of AIDS. A few years later they were there again - this time together with their daughter, who was still a small child at the time.

Visit to Okakarara and Ongombombonde
During their visit in 2023, they also had the opportunity to take a look at organic vegetable cultivation in Ongombombonde. Britta and Stani Nawka were impressed by the progress that has been made here. In order to support steps, they regularly initiate fundraising campaigns in their area. For example, donation boxes and information flyers are available at the reception desk of Dr. Stani Nawka's medical practice, who keeps winning new supporters and members of the support association and is an excellent multiplier. And they also sell things from their personal collection or sewing products from our sewing workshop in flea markets for the benefit of steps and other NGOs. okakararaIn addition, they regularly organize events and fundraising campaigns, the proceeds of which also benefit steps; Britta Nawka has done so several times in the past through her fitness club.
There are now also small pigs in the vegetable garden.

Gen Z is committed
Particularly noteworthy is the involvement of her daughter in this wonderful commitment, who is now also helping to support steps – previously through her kindergarten and today as the youngest member of the support association steps for children eV. Their joint commitment shows how important it is to convey values of solidarity and helpfulness at a young age.
