Shoes for Africa

With this project, we aim to supply youth and adults in Nigeria with shoes. We initially started with just accepting basketball sneakers to help underprivileged youth have the means to create their future through basketball.

We have since opened up shoe donations to any brand, condition, or occasion of the shoe so that we can help more people in all walks of life!
