every journey begins with a single step...

‘Footsteps for Africa’ is a UK based charity that makes a very real difference to people living in desperately poor communities near Lake Victoria. It is run entirely voluntarily and every penny raised goes to fund its work in Kenya.
‘Footsteps’ provides Kenyan children with the opportunity to reach their potential as individuals and become healthy, educated, self-sufficient and valuable members of their communities.

We do this in a variety of ways:

1. by building schools, providing education materials, teaching support and water;
2. funding the provision of medical facilities to help prevent deaths from easily treatable illnesses such as diarrhoea and malaria as well as HIV/AIDs;
3. through a successful child sponsorship programme for particularly disadvantaged children; we invite individuals and families in the UK to join in a ‘long distance adoption’ programme;
4. through an annual voluntary programme (Rafiki) aimed at broadening the experience of the children: introducing  sports, arts and fun and providing some understanding of the world outside their village.
