Poverty prevents the people of the Congo from affording shoes.   The bare foot soles lead to parasites being contracted through their feet, into the body's digestive tract.   This limits the nutrition, leaving them in a weakened condition, often leading to death from even common illnesses.

For more information, or if you would like to donate shoes:   contact Alice Priessman at   (765) 647 - 6812
