The month of October officially marks 15 years of serving children and youth in Botswana for Stepping Stones International! In celebration of our birthday month, we kicked off the very first day of October with the #StepItUpWithSSI Walk Challenge! Participants of the walk challenge (now known as ‘Steppers’) documented the first day of their 150km in 30 days walk challenge to empower youth and children in Botswana!
Steppers across the world united as one through this walk initiative from countries including Tanzania, Austria, Ecuador, Italy, Japan, United States of America, The Netherlands, United Kingdom, Botswana and more! The #StepItUpWithSSI Walk Challenge has gone on to grow to become a powerful movement, with Steppers as young as 10 years old playing their part in youth empowerment, and we couldn’t be prouder of our Steppers community. Congratulations to everyone for taking part of thisand being a part of an awesome movement!
