Our History
From most vulnerable to valuable
In 2016, Step-in Step-up started as a domestic helper group in our Founder’s home, learning such skills as general house cleaning, washing and ironing, personal hygiene, grooming, taking care of animals, grocery shopping, cooking and basic English.
The demand for these friendly, confident ladies grew and so a classroom was acquired. Boys were invited into the program and a vocational skills rotation was created.
Since 2016
Educating with purpose, changing lives
In November 2021, SISU rented Dulwich College Campus which can now accept more than 250 trainees.
