Do you think that we can change and save lives with old pairs of shoes ? Believe it or not, we can. In countries where poverty is normal, people struggle to survive and feed their families. We can give them a new opportunity. Used shoes are a resource that individuals who live in extremely poor countries can use to start a small business. Selling shoes generates the income business owners need to lift themselves and their families out of poverty, and an entire community has access to affordable shoes. At the same time we help our environment.
As part of our project we decided to start a shoe collecting campaign in our schools. We will create posters, hang it our in our schools and our towns and villages and encourage people to take part in our campaign.
START: Today
END OF CAMPAIGN: AT THE END OF MAY
Due to the Covid-19 situation, not all the schools could do this activity (they were programmed by the end of April-May)
OUR POSTERS FOR THE CAMPAIGN:
La Benaula school has finished their collection campaign! We would like to thanks to all the empathic people from in and out the school who came to donate!
We started our shoe gathering company in winter before Covid 19 and only in June we were able to deliver shoes to the orphans from nearby orphanage. Thanks to World Wide Youth Camps organisation who helped us
