About National Shoe the World Day
Each year on March 15th, National Shoe The World Day shines a light on the value of proper footwear for millions of people around the world.
Over 500 million children, teens, and adults do not have a pair of shoes to wear, and despite the terrain and the climate in their areas, they walk barefoot everywhere.
National Shoe The World Day is a day created to bring awareness to the incredible need and to take action in helping.
National Shoe The World Day began in 2014 when Donald Zsemonadi and the United Indigenous People in Fontana, California initiated the day for the first time.
