Volunteer Short Term

SSLC offers a great opportunity for anyone wishing to get involved with our cause. The need for volunteers to raise money for the school or volunteer short/long term with the children is great. Your time and talent is always appreciated, and the rewards of watching the students grow and improve are endless and truly priceless.

In February 2019, 18 students from Pepperdine University along with their Lecturer and other volunteers visited Step By Step Learning Centre (SSLC) to help build a perimeter fence around the school. The fence will greatly improve the SSLC students' safety.
