HOW WE GIVE

Shoe Giving is integrated into our Giving Partners' everyday work in community development. Our partners provide services such as health checkups, distribution of medicine and vaccines, microfinance programs, youth leadership programs, school support and vocational training for older teens.

HOW SHOE GIVING WORKS

STEP 1:

Make a match

Everything starts with your purchase. Once shoes are bought, we collaborate with our long-term Giving Partners to distribute the same number of pairs that our customers buy.

STEP 2:

Customize the order

Our Giving Department works with Giving Partners to place orders for the right sizes, quantities and types of shoes, providing logistical support and first-rate customer service.

STEP 3:

DELIVER & DISTRIBUTE

We send new pairs to our Giving Partners, who place the shoes directly on children's feet — as part of their broader programs to help kids and communities.

STEP 4:

Pick up the tab

Giving shouldn't come with hidden costs, so we help cover expenses to transport and distribute the shoes, including freight, vehicle rental and even delivery by donkey.

STEP 5:

Review & improve

We're always learning. We assess the impact of our Giving through partner feedback, site visits and commissioned field studies. Then we adapt, to make it more effective.

STEP 6:

Repeat

We're committed to Giving responsibly and sustainably, working with our partners to provide new shoes as needed.
