Who We Are - Steps For World
Our Vision
We envision a world where children everywhere have access to essential supplies, starting with shoes that help unlock opportunities for education, health, and a better quality of life.
Our Approach
At Steps For World, we believe the most effective way to mobilize resources for children in need is through collective action. We organize fundraisers, shoe drives, and strategic partnerships to gather essential supplies, which are distributed through our partnership with World Vision, allowing us to operate efficiently and reach more children worldwide.
Our Impact
The impact of these supplies is profound. For many children, a reliable pair of shoes can mean safer travel to school, improved health, and greater access to education and clean water. What may seem like an old pair of shoes to us can become a pathway to opportunity for a child in need.
Where Your Shoes Could End Up
Through our logistics partnership with World Vision, donated shoes are distributed to communities across Africa, including Lesotho, Eswatini, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Zambia, Angola, The Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Chad, Niger, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Mali, Mauritania, or Senegal!
