Soles4Souls offers a fundraising opportunity where organizations collect monetary donations to sponsor flip flops and shoes that will be sent to children in need around the world. For every $1 donated, one pair of shoes will be sent overseas. The fundraising organization keeps 40% of the total funds collected. Shoes are important because they protect children's feet from injury and disease. The fundraiser supplies all needed materials and organizations have a minimum of two weeks to collect donations.

6. 1 PAIR = 1 LIFE! Why are shoes important? In many countries, children walk barefoot on rough, rocky, uneven, or dangerous terrain. The simple gift of shoes can give those children protection from cuts, wounds, infections… even the transmission of disease. In fact, 55% of all world diseases can be prevented with proper sanitation and footwear! The shoes your organization sponsors will keep children safe from injury and infection, as well as give them hope for a brighter tomorrow.
7. Rafael is three and has never owned a pair of shoes, just like his five brothers and sisters. His mother, who lives alone with the children outside the Tegucigalpa City Dump, said she is happy her children will be able to walk to school three miles down the dirt road more safely. Honduras has a high prevalence rate of Hookworm infection, and many children like Rafael are at direct risk for infection. Ana is a second grader who lives with her family in the South Bronx, New York – America’s lowest income district. She came with 450 classmates to a Soles4Souls/World Vision event and left with a new pair of shoes and a wide grin. “Now I’m ready to go back to school!” she exclaimed. SOME OF OUR FAVORITE FEET…
