Over 1.5 billion people suffer from soil–transmitted diseases worldwide. Without shoes, children are especially vulnerable to soil–transmitted diseases and parasites that can cause illness and even death.  Children who get sick often miss school, can't help their families, and suffer needlessly.  

Greater Good Charities partners with Because International to provide kids in Kenya with "The Shoe That Grows." When children are given products to help reduce the risk of soil-transmitted diseases and make their life healthier, they can attend school more often and be more confident. 

You can help. Just $20 provides a pair of "The Shoe That Grows."

Because International is committed to practical compassion — doing the small things that make a BIG difference. We would like to put children in the best possible position to succeed. We do this through new innovations, specifically by improving current tools and resources used in daily, regular life. We listen to those living in extreme poverty to hear their thoughts, ideas, and dreams for a better life — and then we work together to help turn those ideas into a reality. We try to make things better by making better things.
