Why Make
Giving Sandals A Part Of Your Missions Program?
Many children in Central America grow up barefoot. Whether at
play, doing chores or going to school, these children are at risk:
•A leading cause of disease in developing
countries is soil-transmitted diseases, which can penetrate the skin through bare feet. Wearing shoes can help prevent these
diseases, and the long-term physical and cognitive harm they cause.
•Wearing shoes also prevents feet
from getting cuts and sores. Not only are these injuries painful, they also are dangerous when wounds become infected.
•Many time's children can't attend school barefoot because shoes are a required part of their uniform. If they
don't have shoes, they don't go to school. If they don't receive an education, they don't have the opportunity to realize
their potential.
Your help with getting sandals to children is critical. By making sandals a part your missions giving or coming on
a short-term mission trip, people will be impacted by your partnership. For more information please contact us today.
