Project Partners
Small Steps Project is specifically aimed at helping people in poverty and those in limbo. We provide emergency aid but then we direct the children and families we help to other NGO's, Projects and Service Providers who work on sustainable projects and are able to continue to help.
The Project Partners that Small Steps Project details here are those who we have worked with personally and hold in the highest regard:
