Over 50% Of School Children In Africa Have No Shoes

But you can help. Shoes to Kenya collects unwanted childrens’ shoes and sends them to orphanages and schools in Kenya.
 
Isaac Ouma travels throughout Kenya educating schoolchildren. He says; “In my visits I see a lot of very needy children when it comes to shoes, including some from very remote primary schools. Over half of the school pupils have no shoes. It would be a great help to the very needy kids in that jiggers, thorns, and broken glass will not hinder their growth and ability to play and learn.”

I don’t know about you but our children grow out of shoes so quickly that they hardly get worn. Globalkids support this initiative as it goes towards one of our key aims, which is to improve the living standard of children in developing countries….but more so it’s a jolly nice thing to do for someone.

We want to send as many pairs of shoes as possible to Isaac Ouma who will hand them out to children in schools and orphanages across Kenya so if you can help please send them to:

Shoes to Kenya

Then sit back and grin in the knowledge that your little ones feet have helped another little ones feet!
