This fall, join us in Kenya and experience the impact firsthand.

Each year we bring small groups of partners to Africa to see The Shoe That Grows in action—to walk into classrooms, hand out shoes, and meet the kids, families, and teachers whose lives are changing because of this work. You'll experience the culture firsthand: distributions during the week, a safari to take in the wildlife and landscape, time with our team and the field partners doing this work day in and day out. You'll see what your support actually does. Not in a report—in person.

The balance between experiencing the culture, the wildlife, and seeing the impact firsthand was perfect. I honestly can’t imagine it being any better.

The safari was incredible, but the heart of the trip was the time spent with the students.

Seeing the children’s joy as they welcomed us—dancing, singing, playing together—are memories I’ll carry with me forever.

Being able to go, to serve, and to see the work up close made the mission deeply personal in a way that giving alone never could.

Come see your generosity in action.

We host this experience because many of the people who see the work up close are the ones who go on to help us reach more kids. This trip is for people who are already partnering with us or seriously considering it and want to see the work from the inside before deciding what coming alongside us might look like. Our hope is that travelers come home ready to help us bring shoes to many more kids.
