A blog filler, but humanitarian innovation worth mentioning

Love to read a positive story or tidbit on social media … and this one about Kenton Lee and “The Shoe That Grows” caught my eye.

In 2007, our founder Kenton Lee traveled to Nairobi, Kenya after graduating college. He lived and worked at a small orphanage with some incredible kids. The Shoe That GrowsOne day, he was walking down a dusty road with all the kids when he noticed a little girl in a white dress walking next to him. As he looked down at her feet, he was shocked to see how small her shoes were. They were so small that she had to cut open the front of her shoes to let her toes stick out. That was the day that Kenton thought:

  • What if there was a shoe that could adjust and expand its size?
  • What if there was a shoe that could grow?

And the idea for The Shoe That Grows™ was born.
