    This work is scalable depending upon the donations.

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION

We raise funds through collecting footwear which we take and trade in Africa. We have an extensive network in Africa which enables us to do this sensitively, powerfully & creates employment. We therefore seek assistance acquiring footwear of all types. Any clearance stock, returned items or used footwear that is still wearable we would love to have donated. We can arrange collection of this if it is in an economic bundle. We guarantee that every item will find a new life in Africa.
