02 Activities

What the charity does

Footsteps International aims to put into practice Jesus Christ's command that we should Love God and our neighbour as ourselves. We are committed to helping some of the world's poorest and most needy people. Most of our work is in Kenya where we care for and rehabilitate street children, provide homes for orphaned and abandoned children and support school children in the slums.
