SOLES4SOULS FUNDRAISER:Give hope. Get funds.

Soles4Souls offers a different kind of fundraiser for your school or student club—the kind that makes a difference in lives around the world.

1 Students use collection envelopes and a fundraising web page to collect monetary sponsorships of new

Soles4Souls flip flops and clogs.

2 The envelopes and fundraising supplies are

collected, packaged, and sent back to Soles4Souls to be counted.

3 Soles4Souls sends the sponsored shoes to children in

need all over the world, and sends your school a check for 40% of the total collected!

$1 = 1 PAIR!How many shoes will Soles4Souls send?

1 PAIR = 1 LIFE!Why are shoes important?

In many countries, children walk barefoot on rough, rocky, uneven, or dangerous terrain. The simple gift of shoes can give those children protection from cuts, wounds, infections… even the transmission of disease. In fact, 55% of all world diseases can be prevented with proper sanitation and footwear!

The shoes your school sponsors will keep children safe from injury and infection, as well as give them hope for a brighter tomorrow.

Rafael is three and has never owned a pair of shoes, just like his five brothers and sisters. His mother, who lives alone with the children outside the Tegucigalpa City Dump, said she is happy her children will be able to walk to school three miles down the dirt road more safely. (Honduras has a high prevalence rate of Hookworm infection, and many children like Rafael are at direct risk for infection.)

Ana is a second grader who lives with her family in the South Bronx, New York (America’s lowest income district). She came with 450 classmates

to a Soles4Souls/World Vision event and left with a new pair of shoes and a wide grin. “Now I’m ready to go back to school!” she exclaimed.
