From 2017 to 2023, we have given 1% of our revenue to help children walk in shoes to protect their feet. We've done this by partnering with our friends at The Shoe That Grows. With your help, we use the positive innovation cycle to fight against the negative cycle of poverty.
Developed after seeing children at orphanages in Kenya walking barefoot since they outgrew their shoes at an extreme pace, Kenton Lee decided to develop a shoe that can actually grow. With its expandable mechanic, it can grow in 5 sizes and in 3 different ways: at the front, on the sides and at the back.
By focusing on local production, The Shoe That Grows creates jobs where the shoes are most commonly distributed. In the last 1,5 years, 40 jobs have been created in Kenya alone.
