My Nonprofit Reviews

Stepping Stones International has developed a holistic program to address the many complex needs of the youth in Botswana. SSI has networked with the University of Utah Reading Clinic (UURC) to improve the literacy rates not only at the Center, but throughout the country. Tutors at SSI have been trained to provide targeted individual and small group reading intervention. SSI has partnered with the UURC, Ministry of Education and Skills Development, along with BIHL, to train hundreds of teachers in the UURC's whole class text and word study literacy models. Teachers have been given additional tools to make texts and therefore content accessible to their students. SSI's impact on this nation is enduring and remarkable.
