HAITI is the poorest country in the Americas, struggling to overcome massive homelessness and displacement from both a 7.0 earthquake which devastated it's capitol, Port-au-Prince, and major cholera outbreaks which occurred last year. 

Soles4Souls  has distributed over 13 million pairs of shoes to people in need around the world. An estimated 300 million children and millions of adults lack basic footwear, and Soles4Souls provides them with valuable protection from harmful wounds and infectious diseases.
