Stepping Stones is now available in Russian:

It was edited and adopted according to Russian conditions and mentality by the Russian NGO "Humanitarian Projects"  from Siberia (the most experienced training team on HIV and AIDS issues in Russia) with financial support of Social Service Agency of Protestant Churches in Germany ("Bread for the World"). The project began in 2005 and is still developping: according to the project's plan several team members will have completed additional training by the end of 2010. This Russian version's name is "Fifteen".   It contains new sessions and new topics close to the Russian mind and reality. It was approved  by two very important Russian experts on educational issues from state institutions who gave own positive reviews on this new method. "Fifteen" was presented in the Europe and Central Asia  AIDS conference held on 28-30th October in Moscow, Russia.

Stepping Stones in Indonesia:

In February 2009, the Indonesian magazine Tempo reported on the use of Stepping Stones in the province of Papua. The article can be read here. Batu Loncatan is the Indonesian version of the Stepping Stones manual

"While PCI/Indonesia has submitted  several proposals for funding to continue/expand Stepping Stones and other HIV  prevention activities in the Papua area, we have not yet been able to secure  funding.  Our current project, with AusAID, ends in September this  year.  PCI certainly hopes to continue HIV prevention work, including  Stepping Stones, but it will depend on our ability to secure a new round of  funding.  As you know, the Indonesian National  AIDS Commission is using Stepping Stones in Papua (the adaptation PCI  developed), but we don't have details on the size/scope of their activities  beyond what was in the magazine article I sent around a few months  ago."  Project Concern International (PCI)

Stepping Stones in Tanzania:

"Currently we have been training our staff (52) on Stepping Stones and we have been using it. In short, this is the culture of our organization that every new comer have to undergo for such a training which lasts for 16 days and we provide them with certificates."
