How Do We Do It?
Contact small shoe business owners and secure donations
We search for small Colombian business owners who, due to the pandemic and the socio-economic issues in Colombia, have been struggling to keep their business afloat and give them a helping hand by buying their shoes.
Search for small children foundations
Afterward, we search for foundations across Colombia that provide children with the donations they need to improve their quality of life.
We deliver the shoes to the selected foundations
Finally, we select the foundations, purchase the shoes, and deliver happiness to children from these foundations.

Why Donate Shoes?
Every single action makes a difference! One shoe today can lead to a better life tomorrow. For us, it’s not just about the shoe itself; it’s about what the shoe represents in a child’s life.
Recreational purposes
With shoes, daily activities are just must simpler! These shoes will give children the chance to roam freely, walk to their schools safely, and play around without fear of hurting themselves.
Improves Quality of Life
Safe and unharmed children are happy children! Having the chance to do their daily activities safely, move around, do sports, walk to school will improve a child’s overall well-being.
Ability to practice sports
It’s no secret that scoring that goal, shooting that basketball, or running those miles is more comfortable with a pair of shoes.

Increasing quality of life
