Shoes for Haitian Girls

Haiti Women and Girls

MADRE provides shoes for young girls living in Haiti's displacement camps. Many of these girls lost their families and their homes in the earthquake. Each day, they must struggle to survive. MADRE's Haitian partner organization, KOFAVIV, runs a center where these girls can access the support and therapy that they urgently need. But, to get to this oasis of safety, these girls urgently need shoes to protect themselves from the rubble-strewn street and from dangerous soil-transmitted infections.
