Soles4Souls just got $17,300 to buy shoes for impoverished communities. The money comes from customers buying shoes at 89 of Shoe Sensation's retail locations. The Nashville, Tenn., nonprofit will get shoes from well-known brands and give them to its various relief programs, including 30,000 shoes for Typhoon Haiyan victims in the Philippines. Soles4Souls also collects millions of used shoes annually, which are converted to currency for sustainable jobs through the organization's micro-enterprise program in Haiti and other countries. The nonprofit says children who live without shoes often get infections or can't go to school. The World Bank says some 400 million children worldwide live without shoes.
