Journey Out of Poverty
"Journey Out of Poverty" is the name of the initiative we use with the Shoe Guys to promote their efforts to collect shoes. Shoes collected through this initiative are completely handled by their organization. After flier creation and distribution, shoe collection, sorting and shipping, the used shoes are sold to vendors in developing countries as practical alternatives to expensive footwear. Additionally, they provide a source of income for the entrepreneurs that sell them at bazaars and on roadsides throughout Africa.
Though the Shoe Guys are a for-profit company, we are grateful for the portion of their profits they commit to our work. We appreciate that the work they do has inherent benefit to impoverished people. Our relationship with the Shoe Guys goes back to 2008 and to the best of our ability we have confirmed the integrity of their process.
