Shoes for Namibian Students
| Our first shipment of 450 pairs of used shoes has arrived in Africa! It took lots of effort and energy to get us to this point: Enlisting the help of dozens of junior high and high school volunteers, telling the African story of need, getting everyone educated about our mission and about our goal to help those kids. And now we have hundreds of pairs of real shoes for real kids. Kids helping kids .....it's very cool. With the help of many more volunteers in Africa, the story will go on as each pair of shoes finds its new owner. Soles for Africa is helping children in a simple but significant way. We'll be starting the cycle over again very soon. Can you help? |
It's simple really. Giving a child the gift of shoes.
We collect used, not abused, children's shoes and provide them free of charge to African children in need.
In many parts of Africa, children walk barefoot many miles to and from school every day. We want to make their daily journeys easier and help keep them safe from injury.
So it's up to all of us. Simply collect children's shoes that no longer fit or are out of fashion, but still have lots of life, and get them to our collection site at 535 Spring Road in Elmhurst...we 'll do all the rest.
Making a difference in the life of a child has never been simpler.
