SHOE DRIVE CAMPAIGN

This initiative is focused on collecting unwanted and gently used shoes and distributing them to those who are in desperate need of them. In December last year before Christmas we distributed our first shoes through the CINDI NETWORK which works with children affected by AIDS in Kwazulu Natal, South Africa. This is our second campaign this year and we are aiming to collect more that 10 000 shoes. For those who will be coming to our country all over the world to watch the Fifa 2010 World Cup, we ask you to carry 1 or 2 pairs of your old shoes with you to leave behind and to help us to bring smiles to many of our kids. This campaign hopes to change lives of many kids in South Africa, enable them to walk to school in shoes for the first time and play football.

Every contribution is important to us whether is 1 pair or 100 pairs. We ask companies, retailers and individuals to absorb the shipping cost to our warehouse facility in South Africa.
