Step-in Step-up

About Us

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 500 trainees.

Our Social Impact Partners

At SISU, we believe in the power of partnership and collaboration. Our success in providing quality vocational training and transforming lives is made possible through the invaluable support of our Social Impact Partners. These partners play a vital role in driving positive change and empowering our trainees to achieve their full potential.

We are fortunate to have two types of Business Partners who contribute to the growth and impact of our programs. The first group consists of generous donors who provide financial support, enabling us to offer scholarships, enhance our facilities, and expand our educational resources. Without their dedication and philanthropic spirit, we would not be able to provide opportunities for trainees who come from disadvantaged backgrounds.

The second group of Business Partners, equally essential, comprises organizations that offer jobs to our program graduates. These partners not only recognize the value of our vocational training but also provide real-world internships and employment opportunities for our trainees. By connecting our graduates with meaningful jobs, these partners contribute to the long-term success and sustainability of our vocational program.

Whether through financial support or employment opportunities, our Business Partners are instrumental in driving positive change and transforming the lives of our trainees. We are immensely grateful for their commitment and look forward to continued collaboration, knowing that together we can create a brighter future for those in need of education and economic empowerment. Join us as a Business Partner and make a lasting difference today!

Our Team

We have a highly committed and motivated team of trainers and support staff, who ensure that every trainee is cared for. Our goal is to ensure that our trainees become employable, and so we understand our trainees and their goals and dreams and we make sure that they are fully prepared to be great employees.

All staff are trained in Safeguarding, First Aid, Child Protection and constantly upgrading their skills and abilities.

17 of the staff are former trainees deepening SISU’s links to the Community we serve.
