Small Steps Project

It's new shoes day today at our nursery
Our youngest new walkers all got their first pairs of trainers/sneakers today, to protect their little feet from the rubbish they walk through every day, on their way to our day care.
We provide free preschool from 4 months old for babies and toddlers in Ngong slums, so that their mums can go to work and older siblings can stay in school.

2026 is a big year for our Small Steps Masaka Project in Uganda. For many years we have supported children working on the dump but now, thanks to the Foux Foundation, we have launched our School Reintegration Project.

We are fully funding children back into education, taking care of every step, from shoes to uniforms, food, transport, fees, exams, materials and homework support.

Introducing our first successes sisters Shakirah (11) who hopes of being a pilot and Shamirah (9) who dreams of being a nurse. Both orphans live with their aunt and have been working on the dump collecting plastic and bottles.

This is just the first step in making children's hopes and dreams come true, through education and love. We aim to reintegrate at least 50 children from the dump site this year! Watch this space!

28 year old mum, Hana Om Mohammed, from Khan Younis, Gaza, has brought together a knitting circle, who are all taking the most tiny, magical small steps.
These women, who are mums themselves, trying to survive a genocide, are knitting tiny baby booties and hats to keep newborns warm.
Then they distributing them in hospitals, maternity wards, clinics and shelters to babies who need them.
By donating or sponsoring a pair of booties, not only are you keeping a baby warm, you are providing employment to a mum to keep her own children safe.
Every penny you donate will go to these mums, including the gift aid we receive on every uk tax payers donation. Link is in our bio.
