People without Proper Shoes

Over 1 billion people worldwide - including 300 million who cannot afford shoes at all - lack proper shoes, directly contributing to diseases such as Podoconiosis and Hookwork disease.

0 Million

Impact on Childhood Education

Over 300 million children worldwide cannot attend school because lacking footwear exposes them to injuries and soil‑transmitted diseases, often preventing attendance due to uniform rules or dangerous walking conditions.

0+ Million

People infected with Hookworm Disease

Between 406 and 480 million people - mostly in the poorest tropical and subtropical regions of Sub‑Saharan Africa, Asia, and Central and South America - are infected with hookworms, a nematode parasite transmitted through infested soil.

0 Million

People impacted with Podoconiosis

About 4 million people across 17 countries - mostly in Africa, Latin America and Asia - suffer from this non‑infectious disease caused by microscopic particles of mineral‑rich volcanic red clay soil entering tiny cracks in bare feet and destroying the lymphatic system, leading to severe lower‑leg swelling (elephantiasis).
