Shoes for the Needy!

Why should we collect shoes?

The secondhand shoes are a valuable product for street vendors to sell at affordable prices.
Funds generated from the selling of the shoes provide well drilling rigs, water purification systems, and hand pump repair. People who thirst receive fresh drinking water.
The people that purchase the shoes are those who do not have shoes and cannot afford to purchase new shoes.
The shoes protect the new owner’s feet from foot abrasions, parasites and mites.

How do shoes turn into water?
Shoeman Water Projects turns shoes into water in six simple steps.
1. Gather the shoes you no longer wear.
2. Pair the shoes and tie the laces together or put a rubber band around them.
3. The Shoeman picks up shoes from drop-off locations and organizations that host shoe drives.

Some businesses, like Goodwill or local shoe stores, may also participate in shoe drives and serve as drop-off locations for Projects. 

Contact local non-profit organizations or community centers that may be involved in shoe drives or have partnerships.
