In the red dust of Marsabit County, northern Kenya, hundreds of children are now walking to school in shoes that fit – thanks to our partners at The Amuka Foundation.
Over the course of a week, Early Child Development classes across Karare received carefully sized and selected shoes: school shoes, sports shoes, Crocs and sandals -each pair bringing protection, comfort and dignity.
At Lakartinya Primary School, shoes were distributed to those in greatest need, helping children feel confident in the classroom and included in the playground.
Girls in Amuka’s Mentorship Programme also received new footwear – making it easier for them to fully participate in school life and sports. These are the moments where practical support becomes a platform for empowerment.
And on Immunisation Day, shoes were shared with families attending the local dispensary, helping to encourage maternal healthcare and expand access to basic essentials.
It’s just the beginning – but it’s already making a difference.
Asante sana to The Amuka Foundation and all the children and mothers of Karare. We’re proud to walk this path with you.
