School Building Campaign
Shaping the Future for Neurodivergent Children
Almarie’s personal connection to neurodiversity fueled the establishment of Stepping Stone School. The dream began with a little school for children with autism in Swakop. Now, with dedicated families by our side, the need for a specialized education facility became evident.
Namibia Facility Management, led by K Neumayer, a local construction firm, undertakes the responsibility of translating our vision into reality. K Neumayer, the Project Manager, brings expertise and commitment to ensure a seamless transition to a new site, a new school, and a space designed for the unique needs of our 120 students.
Stepping Stone School envisions a space where children can learn effectively, irrespective of learning difficulties. With adapted spaces and purpose-built facilities, we aim to witness the development and progress of each child, creating a place of effective education.
Building Project Phases
