This strategy leverages community participation and volunteer efforts to fund, produce, and distribute shoes, fostering a sense of connection and shared purpose.

- Local Production and Economic Empowerment local_production_and_sourcingThe organization employs local artisans in communities like Uganda and Mexico to handmake shoes, providing them with paid training, livable wages, and breaks. This approach not only ensures the production of shoes but also fosters economic empowerment by creating sustainable jobs and supporting local economies through sourcing materials locally.
