MY 360 PROJECT

The organization engages individuals and volunteers through various programs, including an "Artmox kit" for designing shoes, an ambassador program for advocacy, and service trips for direct shoe delivery. This strategy leverages community participation and volunteer efforts to fund, produce, and distribute shoes, fostering a sense of connection and shared purpose.

Inspired by servant leadership, the organization operates as "the hands and feet of Jesus" to overcome poverty by serving others and providing new shoes as a humanitarian effort. Additionally, it supports the educational growth of artisans through a grant-based program, recognizing the importance of education for long-term impact.

The organization provides properly fitted shoes to children, recognizing that this act opens doors to education, opportunity, and hope. This holistic approach views shoes as a fundamental tool to protect children's feet, improve their lives, and enable access to education, thereby addressing broader issues of poverty and lack of opportunity.

The 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.

Shoes are delivered to children through a ceremonial washing of the feet, performed by trip participants or artisans. This method emphasizes human connection and direct service, aiming to provide hope and a personal touch in the distribution process.
