On the most basic level, Soles4Souls distributes donated shoes and clothing to people in need, at no cost. This ongoing work is a key component of their overall mission: Wearing Out Poverty. But it's just one facet of the work they undertake to serve those in need, create opportunity, and protect the environment. By redirecting shoes and clothing from landfills to those who need them, they also champion sustainability.
With over thirty million pairs of shoes distributed thus far, plus literally tons of clothing, author Buddy Teaster outlines Soles4Souls' evolution in Shoestrings, reflecting the power of their work and the significant change they've been able to enact. Teaster delves into inspiring stories of how the organization has not only provided essential items to individuals but has also fostered entrepreneurship and economic independence in impoverished communities through micro-business programs.
Begun in response to the Indian Ocean tsunami that struck multiple countries in 2004, Soles4Souls was initially known as a disaster-relief organization. The story of their transformation to the deeper mission they pursue today as a registered non-profit is one of humanitarian concern, human frailty and error, and humankind's ability to overcome seemingly insurmountable circumstances. Through innovative strategies and partnerships, Soles4Souls continues to fight poverty and inspire hope worldwide.
