Our Impact
Not only do we work hard to provide shoes in various countries, we also want to impact the areas we go in all ways possible. By purchasing shoes in the same communities that we go to, we are able to invest financially in the local economy which opens doors for us locally and it’s a win win for all. We partner with local shoemakers and stores to focus on fair trade and also plant a seed in the person to continue supporting their own community long after we are gone. With every trip we go on, we gain more experience to improve the next trip and are able to partner with other nonprofits to carry-out our mission. These trips serve to leave a lasting footprint on local people that become leaders in their communities and continue to improve their community throughout the years!
