Our program supports over 4,000 micro-entrepreneur families in 24 different developing countries. Micro-enterprises are small businesses, typically owned and operated by families of 1-2 people. Because of systemic poverty in these countries, working-age adults have to create their own opportunities.
They sell the sneakers you gather in their communities, which promotes commerce opportunities and leads to economic sustainability. Micro-enterprise makes it easy to keep your old sneakers out of landfills and put them into the hands of those who need them most.
The goal is to understand the sustainability challenges we face today and how reusing sneakers can make a difference while raising funds for those in need.
