My Nonprofit Reviews

The Stepping Stones staff displays a level of passion and professionalism rarely seen in non-governmental organizations. They are fiercely dedicated to protecting vulnerable children, and their efforts at the national and international level are unparalleled in Botswana. They are at the cutting edge on many levels, and their commitment to evidence-based programs and results documentation should assure all donors that their support is well-used.

Though I've only volunteered with Stepping Stones International for a month, I've learned enough to be highly impressed with this organization. Their accomplishments would be admirable in the US, where I worked with NGOs for more than 25 years, but when you add in the challenges that NGOs face in Botswana (lack of access to communication, transportation, sometimes electricity/water to name a few), SSI deserves your attention as a highly-motivated and effective NGO with a dedicated staff. SSI is committed to efficiency, professionalism, and results in its mission to unlock the potential of Botswana's most vulnerable youth.
