The heart behind Happy Feet
Just imagine...
having to go to school wearing broken shoes or no shoes at all...
Our Vision
We are dedicated to providing brand new, well-fitting, comfortable school shoes to underprivileged children in Africa and other impoverished nations. By giving these shoes, we help individuals who suffer from extreme poverty. As well as meeting a physical need, we also provide a sense of worth and value.
Happy Feet was launched in 2014
We visited two schools in South Africa in the first year, donating 65 pairs of brand new school shoes.
By 2016, 196 pairs of shoes were given out in 14 schools in South Africa.
In 2019 a total of 476 pairs of shoes were given out in 10 schools in South Africa and 8 pairs of shoes were given to a school in the UK.
In 2020, during the COVID19 Pandemic a total of 205 pairs of shoes were given out in 4 schools in South Africa.
In 2021, 85 pairs of shoes were given out in 2 schools in South Africa.
In 2022, a further 77 pairs of shoes were given out in South Africa.
In 2022, 130 pairs of shoes were given out in Kenya.
In 2024, we aim to provide at least 500 pairs of shoes in Abuja Nigeria.
