Everyone deserves a good pair of shoesSince 2006, we’ve distributed 26 million pairs of shoes in 127 countries.
Whether 300 or 30,000, every pair counts!Host a shoe drive and help provide a practical solution to fighting poverty.
1.2 billion People live on less than $1.25 per day. 400 million are children.Many don’t have access to one of life’s most basic necessities: a good pair of shoes.
Shoes keep people healthy, happy and thriving.In many developing nations, walking is the primary mode of transportation. Every day millions are exposed to unsanitary conditions that lead to diseases such as hookworm, threadworm and the dreaded TungaPenetrans, or “jiggers”. These diseases may lead to sickness, even death. They also keep children out of school leaving them without an education and continuing the cycle of poverty.With your help, we can provide a life-changing solution: a good pair of shoes.
Don’t throw away a good opportunity.Americans throw away more than 68 pounds of textiles per person per year. The EPA estimates only 15% is donated or recycled. We keep shoes and clothing out of landfills and instead provide opportunity to thousands of entrepreneurs.
