The Shoe Aid Project is a shoe donation program initiated by
Hope Foundation where gently worn shoes are collected and freely distributed to
children and families in Cameroon. Our goal and aim with this project is to
meet the fundamental needs of thousands of children and families in Cameroon by
providing them with pairs of shoes which will enable them to go about their
daily activities.
Through this project we seek to improve living standards and to make life
easier by donating shoes to people in Africa who cannot afford a pair of shoes.
Without shoes many people in deprived areas of Cameroon and in other African
countries are unable to complete daily activities and tasks, which in turn slow
down development. Children cannot go to school, parents find it difficult to go
to work on farms, youths cannot freely take part in various sporting
activities, mothers and women cannot go to church or to the market. The lack of
shoes within many families also comes with health-related consequences.
Children playing without shoes usually get themselves injured either by broken
glass or other sharp objects, usually resulting in dangerous bacterial and
fungal infections. Cameroon's extreme temperatures during the year can make
simple daily tasks unbearable without something as simple as
shoes.
You can take action today by looking into your closet, finding an old pair of
clean shoes which you no longer need and donating them to this project. If you
really want to make a difference, organize a collection drive in your area with
friends, work colleagues or family.
Please mail your shoes to the following address:

Your old shoes are sure to bring a smile to their new owner and in many cases
will also raise their self-esteem.
Any monetary donations are also greatly appreciated as it would be used in financing
the transportation logistics involved in shipping the shoes.
