Shoes For Kids

In partnership with Number 1 Shoes, KidsCan provides free quality footwear and socks for children who consistently come to school in winter without shoes or with shoes that are in bad condition. 'Shoes For Kids' reduces foot injury and illness and keeps little feet warm and dry in winter. So far more than 4,000 pairs of shoes have been given to children throughout New Zealand.

The aim of the 'Shoes For Kids' programme is to...

• To provide shoes and socks to disadvantaged children to keep their feet safe, warm and dry.
• To reduce foot injury and foot infections.
• To help reduce ill health in disadvantaged children associated with exposure to cold and / or wet weather.
• To ensure children arrive at school warm and in a better position to learn.
