Shoes Project
Amount Needed:
$4,000
In our Ugandan community the need to wear shoes usually only comes when a child becomes 12 years old because shoes are in such short supply that they are not given to the younger children. Unfortunately, even those at 12 years old and beyond, and even elderly people, have no shoes because of the cost, so people are forced to walk barefooted on the ground and the dirt floors of the homes.
Going barefoot is never done by choice but is solely an economic situation. It is worse when the rainy season comes and so many people succumb to worms and other parasites that enter into the body through the feet and delicate tissue between the toes.
Around the world so many people take having a pair of shoes for granted, but for many Ugandans this is impossible. Our humble request to our generous friends who can support us, is to help us buy a simple pair of shoes at a meager cost of 25000ugx ($8.06). Please consider making a donation for shoes.
