Giving Shoes To Children Who Need Them Most

ADVERTISEMENT

The My360Project has developed a shoe to change and save the lives of children around the world, because, in the developing world, children must have shoes to access education, and without shoes, a child’s lifespan and opportunities are drastically limited. The shoes are designed to protect children’s feet and transform the economy of communities.

My360Project desires to DISRUPT the cycle of poverty by creating a sustainable solution of employment for those who have been victims of trafficking or are unemployable due to lack of opportunities or education. $35 provides one pair of shoes to a child in need and helps provide sustainable income for the training of our artisans.

My360Project’s goal is to avoid Toxic Charity-one sided giving. Robert Lupton, “One-way giving tends to make the poor objects of pity, which harms their dignity. It also erodes their work ethic and produces a dependency that is unhealthy both for the giver and the recipient.”

Instead of going into a community and dumping shoes for those in need, we want to create a sustainable employment opportunity for those in the area.
