STEPS4MALAWI WELCOMES YOU
Moving from subsistence to Sustainability
About Us
STEPS4MALAWI has a threefold mission:
1) Supporting the Chidubahrising project (Wendy Elerick). Steps4 Malawi supports. financially, spiritually, physically and by building infrastructure. In addition to the project itself Steps4Malawi also supports the various village pastors and churches connected with the Chidubah Christian Pentecostal church.
2) STEPS4MALAWI micro-enterprise program is designed to create real economic change in Malawi. Working with SOLES4SOULS we utilize gently used shoes as a resource to help entrepreneurs in Malawi with an opportunity to start and sustain a small business (a micro-enterprise) of their own. Because shoes that are no longer needed are donated, STEPS4MALAWI will be able to provide a constant quality supply of product to entrepreneurs. Because of this, they will be able to lift themselves and their family out of poverty.
3) We will be bringing a specially designed and built (in Chico CA) Bore hole rig to Malawi to drill bore hole wells (up to 60meter deep) to add badly needed wells in the bush villages. We will be able to do so at a fraction of the cost of traditional bore hole rigs. Plus, we will not be charging for the service, just material, and living costs for the Malawians working in the project. this can take the cost from $20,000.00 US per well to $1000.00-$2500.00 per well. We will also be exploring the possibilities of micro-enterprise businesses starting to build these well rigs in Africa and suppling them around the continent.
We also help repair houses, replace roofs, build or rebuild churches, basically doing what needs to be done to the best of our ability.
