What goals do we have? 10,000 pairs of shoes.
Why we want to do this? It's something small we can each contribute to, and help better the lives of those in need.
What do we need from people located in the US?
Shoe contributions- look through your home for shoes you feel you can give out (regardless of size or whether they are closed or open. All open shoes will be traded for closed toed shoes in a huge open air market day currently being organized within Kenya))-
Stop by your local Goodwill store and pick a pair (preferably closed toed shoes if being purchased)
Tell your friends, and neighbours and ask them to donate to the cause.
Shoe Drive
The US Chapter of the Anti-Jigger campaign is currently spearheading a shoe drive in the US. Below are some images from the effort which is made possible by volunteers and well-wishers:
