a pair of shoes can make all the difference in a person’s life. for people in need, a donation of shoes is as important as providing food, medicine, or any other basic necessity.” — Philippe van den Bossche
Raising Malawi
as part of the team that helped donate recycled footwear in Malawi, Africa, i now feel responsible for helping spread knowledge about the need for improving the lives of the people in the villages where we made donations. by donating quality recycled shoes to Malawi, we are already helping improve the well-being of those in impoverished Malawi. having shoes means that villagers can stay healthier and minimize cuts and abrasions through their feet; it means children can walk to school; and it means trips to the market are that much easier to make.” — Melissa Koester
