One Day Without Shoes took place in 1600 locations around the world this year and 1/4 million people participated.
In some developing nations, children must walk for miles to school, clean water and to seek medical help.
Cuts and sores on feet can lead to serious infection. Often children cannot attend school barefoot. In Ethiopia, approximately one million people are suffering from Podoconiosis, a debilitating and disfiguring disease caused
by walking barefoot in volcanic soil.
Podoconiosis is 100% preventable with basic foot hygiene and wearing shoes.
