One Sole at a time
We fund protective footwear for underserved communities across Africa to prevent debilitating barefoot diseases.
Our First-Ever 5K Run
We hosted our first-ever 5K fundraiser at Milton High School. 107 people registered and donated, and together we raised over $11,000 to provide shoes for children in Ghana and India.
Barefoot Diseases in Africa
In Africa, Hookworm parasitic disease is widespread but not commonly discussed.
There are 300 million people in Africa without shoes, a direct cause of Podoconiosis and Hookworm.
Over 21 million cases of Podoconiosis pop up; this lymphedema is common but unheard of.

Scientific BackgroundHookworm
Larvae enter through the skin, causing anemia, stunted growth, and cognitive delays in children.
