Story

GIVE A SMALL GIFT WITH A BIG IMPACT

Thank you for visiting our JustGiving campaign page. We hope that you will be able to support our students by purchasing a new pair of school shoes. I know if I look in my wardrobe, I have so many pairs of shoes it seems a little embarrasing! Especially as the current pandemic ensures I only wear my slippers for most of the day as we have to stay at home!

If you are currently home-schooling because of the pandemic and looking for inspiration to fill the hours, maybe you would like to get your children involved in a fundraising activity as part of their P.E lessons. Perhaps a sponsored walk, jog, skipping, dancing or other fun activity, asking grandparents, friends, relatives to sponsor them. It is easy to sign up to be a "New Shoes" campaign fundraiser - just click on the link on the right to get started!

Many children in Haiti do not attend school because they cannot afford the high costs of a proper education. Fortunately the AGF addresses this problem by providing these vulnerable children with the means to attend school. However, in the past, we have had to import second hand school shoes for the children we support. We know now, that importing goods hurts the local economy and creates a cycle of dependency.

One pair of locally made school shoes costs just £25/$30

You can break this cycle!
