3 months / 10,000 pairs of shoes
Be the difference in a child’s life today – Give Shoes
What: Collecting gently worn and new shoes for the children, women and men of East Africa.
Why: 300,000 children globally do not own a pair of shoes.
Adults and children in developing countries are exposed to a myriad of difficult to control and treat infections which can be caused by cuts and scratches. In Australia, with access to clean water and good medications, these wouldn’t pose a major threat. However, in countries like Kenya and Tanzania, an infected cut on someone’s foot could be lethal.
Who: The Butterfly Movement in partnership with global charity Soles4Souls (
www.soles4souls.com)
You: Each pair of shoes you donate saves a life. You can save the life of someone just like you; a sister, a brother, a daughter, a son, a mother, a father, a grandmother, a grandfather, with just one pair of your gently worn shoes.
