A Message From Our Founder
Stepping Stool International was founded by Mrs. Kathryn Walker with a vision to create opportunities for women, youth, and orphans who face barriers to education and economic success.
What began as a small effort fueled by compassion and personal sacrifice has grown into a mission dedicated to helping individuals become self-sufficient and empowered within their communities.
Today, SSI continues to work toward its long-term vision of establishing an orphanage, school, and healthcare clinic to serve future generations.
