All shoes in any condition are accepted. The shoes are sold to exporters for affordable sale in developing countries as a catalyst to grow local micro businesses and local economies, while lessening the load on local landfills.
All purses, backpacks, and small tote bags are accepted. No luggage or backpacks on wheels. The purses are sold to exporters just like the shoes.
By hosting a drive, friends, family, neighbors, and community members can clean out their closets, support your organization or cause, and help bring clean water to developing countries.
I loved the idea of keeping shoes and purses out of the landfill while making money for our project. The kids had a lot of fun while still learning how to give back to others.
