The Samaritan's Feet

More than 70,000 Samaritan's Feet volunteers have put 3,000,000 impoverished children in shoes. No small feat!  --Yet, one this nonprofit takes to heart.  Three-hundred million live without any shoes, and foot-borne illnesses kill a million people each year.

A life spent barefoot isn't just limited to undeveloped nations.  Even in the U.S., youngsters go without shoes or have footwear that is too small.  Shoes open up choices to children in ways you may not think about.  They're able to attend school (because with shoes they can walk).  Sports become an option.

Samaritan's Feet operates in 40 nations and provide relief to war-torn and disaster-ridden areas.
