Shoe Party Kit
Transforming Denim into Steps of Hope
As we stand united in the battle against jiggers, one of our most effective weapons is closed-toe shoes. And that's exactly where you come in. By participating in a Sole Hope Shoe Party, you'll be bringing new purpose to old jeans, transforming denim from your closet into protective footwear. These cut and prepared uppers are then sent to Uganda, where skilled local tailors and shoemakers expertly finish them into durable shoes for those in need. Today, you're not just crafting shoes; you're crafting hope.

A Greener Approach to Giving
Sole Hope shoes are a testament to innovation with a conscience, made from 98% recycled and upcycled materials. By choosing to repurpose denim and tires—materials that would otherwise contribute to landfill waste—we're embracing an eco-friendly solution to a pressing need. This approach not only aids in our fight against jiggers but also plays a significant role in environmental conservation. With over 360,000 pairs of upcycled denim shoes paired with tire soles already distributed, we're safeguarding vulnerable communities while actively reducing our ecological footprint. Hosting a shoe party isn't just a profound act of charity; it's a powerful statement for environmental sustainability.
