Every $20 gift will send a pair of The Shoe That Grows to a child in rural Kenya, meeting an immediate need and removing a barrier to education.

Why The Shoe That Grows?

Meet this month's distribution partner.

All pairs funded this month will be distributed through our partner Swahiba Networks to school-aged kids in Mombasa County, located in southeastern Kenya. Swahiba's mission is serving underprivileged communities in rural Kenya with a shared focus on shoes. Since partnering in 2023, we’ve distributed over 6,000 pairs of The Shoe That Grows together.

A direct and long-lasting impact.

[The Sole creates a] direct and long-lasting impact on people's life—I am from Morocco, and I saw poverty and what having a shoe can make a difference in someone's dignity.
