If the second-hand shoe fits … a child here at the Johannesburg Children’s Home has to wear it. These youngsters don’t have the ‘luxury’ of choosing brand new shoes – in a colour and style they like – but you can help change this now.

As it is, being in a children’s home makes kids feel different. Having to wear ‘hand-me-downs’ doesn’t help. But with more than 60 girls and boys in our care, buying new clothes and shoes for all of them is too costly. This is why you can make a big difference.

Any gift you kindly make now will put a pair of new shoes onto little feet – and put a big smile on a young face.
