This Shoe The World Day, you can support a child's future.

March 15 is Shoe The World Day, a day recognizing the importance of footwear and the millions of people around the world who need shoes—including over 600,000 kids in rural Kenya alone. 

Without shoes, kids are exposed to soil-transmitted diseases and parasites, and they are less likely to complete their education to escape the cycle of poverty. Together, we can help support their future.

Donate for Shoe The World Day and send The Shoe That Grows to a child in Kenya, protecting health and access to education. All gifts matched 1:1!

Why The Shoe That Grows?

By donating as little as $20 right now, you can give a child a pair of shoes—providing foot protection, an opportunity for better education, and dignity for several years. Thanks to donor Gordian Staffing for matching gifts up to $15,000.

In partnership with Swahiba Networks

You can make an impact for kids in rural Kenya.

All pairs funded by you 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.
