What We Are Trying to Prevent
People without Shoes
There are 300 million people in Africa without shoes. This is a direct cause of many disease including Podoconiosis and Hookworm disease.
Cases of Hookworm Disease
In Africa, Hookworm parasitic disease is widespread but not commonly discussed.
Cases of Podoconiosis
All across Africa, over 21 million cases of Podoconiosis pop up; this Non-Filarial lymphedema is common but unheard of in many communities.
Impact we have made thus far
Why We Started
“Every day around the world, there are people who have to walk barefoot for miles just to get to school or get water for their families. This showed us that shoes, something so simple that most people take for granted, can make such a difference in people’s lives. It can help prevent podoconiosis and hookworm disease while generally improving health. We started this nonprofit to give these people a chance for a healthier, better life.”
