The Robin Hood Foundation needs your help to put shoes on children’s feet

The campaign was inspired by a photo, which was taken by K&K Photography at the Mandela Day Educational, where RHF hosted children aged two to 17 years in the Amaoti township on Friday, 15 July.

“The shoe, which belonged to a nine-year-old child, pulled on the heartstrings of our volunteer team and made us realise while we get up and choose our shoes, our outfit and our accessories, these young orphaned and vulnerable children don’t get a choice, this was young Sipholelo’s only choice,” says Kim Griffith Jones, coordinator of The Robin Hood Foundation.

To assist, people can donate any pre-loved, good quality shoes or a brand new pair of school shoes. All sizes are welcome or donate R50 towards the ‘Choose your Shoes’ campaign.

“American actress and model, Marilyn Monroe, once said, ‘Give a girl the right pair of shoes and she can conquer the world’, we are appealing to our community to help us give these children a chance to walk a little taller in a pair of new shoes,” adds Griffith Jones.
