DONATE
YOUR SHOES
Transform what you no longer wear into impact across Africa.
DONATE YOUR SHOES,
WE COVER THE SHIPPING
Pairs sitting in your closet can change someone's life. We handle the logistics — just hand them over.
WHERE YOUR
SHOES LAND
Across Africa, walking barefoot on contaminated soil causes preventable infections that affect millions. A pair of shoes is not just comfort — it is protection. Every donation goes to work with our partner, Afrikicks, to get footwear directly into communities that need it most.
About Afrikicks
Afrikicks' mission is to supply sustainability to under-resourced communities by providing access to clean water, while collecting and distributing new and gently worn shoes throughout Africa to help eradicate infections. Guided by Ubuntu: the universal bond of sharing and caring for one another.
