WHO: Shoeman Water Projects, a local non-profit, gathers donated shoes and exports them to street vendors in South America, Haiti, Kenya and other places where people need affordable shoes. The money received from exporting the shoes is used to purchase well drilling rigs, water purification systems, and other supplies to bring clean, fresh water to those who thirst.
WHY: Shoeman Water Projects, a non-profit organization, works to provide affordable shoes to those without any, and clean water to those who thirst. Over 7.80 million people lack access to clean water, which is equivalent to 2 ½ times the United States population according to water.org.
