Story
Join parishioners from St John's and St Mary Magdalene's on Sunday 23 June for our sponsored 10km walk around Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh.
STEKAskills is a Scottish charity partnered with the Malawian charity STEKA (Step Kids Awareness) to realise the benefits of young people working together across continents in a mutually respectful way.
The specific purpose of STEKAskills is to involve Scottish (or any other associated) communities (particularly young adults or organisations such as schools, churches, clubs) in connecting with their contemporaries in Malawi to:
Develop and sustain a STEKA Centre for Vocational Skills and Community Enterprise, enabling it to reach more homeless and vulnerable young people in Malawi who would otherwise be faced with lives in poverty; encouraging their social participation, getting their voices heard, giving them life skills and vocational skills to help them secure sustainable futures.
Understand the UN's global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)and help realise the power of volunteering which the United Nations deems essential to the achievement of the SDGs to "facilitate changes in mind-sets by raising awareness or championing those changes and inspiring others".
