More than 767 million people live on less than $2 a day.
What most of them lack in money, they make up for in resilience and resourcefulness.
They may feel discouraged and limited, but somehow they still manage to make do with what they have.
Give shoes
We’ll repurpose your gently loved shoes by keeping them out of landfills and getting them to entrepreneurs in developing countries.
Start a shoe drive
Whether it’s 100 or 25K, collecting shoes through a shoe drive is an easy way to protect the planet and positively impact an entrepreneur.
You donate shoes.
Repurposed shoes are donated to Soles4Souls by individuals, shoe drives and footwear companies.
We sort and distribute.
Once sorted, we transport the shoes to vetted nonprofit organizations on the ground in developing nations, who purchase them for an average of $1 per pair.
People start businesses.
Our nonprofit partners provide training and support where job opportunities don’t currently exist. People start small businesses selling shoes within their local communities.
Lives change.
Selling shoes generates the income business owners need to lift themselves and their families out of poverty, and an entire community has access to affordable shoes.
