Orphans own nothing.
Not even the clothes on their backs. Everything is shared. It is all community property. Millions of children are living in orphanages with little hope for the future. These children are innocent victims. Each child has a devastating story to tell. In all of the countries we serve, they suffer daily. They have little chance to grow up and join normal society and even less of a chance to hear about the love of Jesus.
But their needs do not change, and one thing they need are shoes.
Shoes are personal - they are special to their owner. And the gift of such an item, even as simple as shoes, can do much for an orphan child.
For once, they own something.
Shoes for Orphan Souls has distributed more than 1.5 million pairs of new shoes to at-risk children in the United States and to orphans in 55 countries around the world. While our effort has made a difference in many lives, there are still millions of children we can reach – all through a pair of shoes. We are seeking donations of new shoes, socks and shoelaces from individuals, corporations, churches and civic groups.
