PUT FOOT FOUNDATION
Our Mission Statement
"Gifting young, under-privileged children "Hope, Pride and Dignity" through a pair of brand new, quality school shoes!"
OUR ORGANISATION
We are a volunteer based, proudly South African, Public Beneficiary Organisation (PBO) and Not-for-Profit Organisation (NPO) born out of the need to tackle the daily plight and indignity of children with no shoes. We operate across the whole of South Africa, with particular focus the less privileged and rural areas often overlooked by charities.
Nothing will ever prepare you to witness and experience a young child receiving their first ever pair of shoes
OUR FOCUS:
SCHOOL SHOES: Providing thousands of school children who are so poor that their families cannot afford to buy them shoes.
WILDLIFE CONSERVATION: Supporting efforts to protect endangered animals in South Africa such as the Rhino, Elephant, Lion, Leopard.
FUNDRAISING FOR OTHERS:
Make funds available to, and collaborating, with other section 18 PBOs working for the greater good of our country.
