Our Story

Step 1 began with a pure and simple belief that a fighting chance is every child’s fundamental right.

Step 1 began with a pure and simple belief that a fighting chance is every child’s fundamental right.

 

Our first-hand witnessing of the quiet struggles of marginalized children in Sri Lanka ignited our resolve to put compassion into action. With nothing but hearts for change and our own resources in hand, we partnered with a local foster home to make that first step toward change.

 

What started as a personal act became a movement — one rooted in passion, perseverance, and the undying belief that every child is born to soar.
