our vision
a world where all people have the ability to accomplish their goals, without the setback of not having shoes.
our mission
to encourage others to start their own chapters of SWB so we can reach even more people and bring your shoes to the millions of people living in poverty who do not have them.
our approach
it's simple. you create your own chapter of SWB, start collecting shoes, spread the word to your friends and send the shoes you've collected to us. then, we send it through boxes to the Philippines or another developing country and distribute it to those in need!

reece lopez
co founder+ president
ever since I was little, I have always donated books, toys, clothes, and shoes to my family in the Philippines. but I started to realize that I could do this on a broader level by allowing other people to create their own chapters of my organization. so in 2015, me and my sister, madison, began Shoes Without Borders with the hope that we can encourage others to take action and make their own chapter. we hope that by doing this, we can reach more people at a faster rate and collect as many shoes as we can!
