Project Description:

This project aims to achieve two main objectives: first, to provide employees with training and hands-on experience in upcycling and entrepreneurship, enhancing their personal and professional skills. Second, it seeks to raise awareness about the environmental and social impacts of footwear production and consumption, advocating for more sustainable and ethical practices within the industry.

As a result of our efforts toward global goals, we’ve established a sustainable system enabling people to donate shoes via designated bins. These shoes are then delivered to YOUTH ARISE TRUST to support their shoe refurbishment business, empowering them to generate income and expand their business. Additionally, the surplus shoes are distributed to adults and children in underprivileged Malawian communities lacking the means to purchase footwear.
