STUFF
FOR THE POOR
SHOES EMPOWERING AFRICA

Stuff for the Poor exists to help the poorest of the poor
in Africa to become self-sufficient.  Helping to transform
the people of Africa from dependency to self-sufficiency
is the dream of SFTP.

SFTP collects and sells used shoes to cover the tuition,
textbook fees, room/board, and uniform costs for 120
high school AIDS orphans in the village of Mbwewe,
Tanzania.  An African buyer then resells the shoes to the
middle-class who would otherwise not have any shoes.  
Not only are people in Africa being helped tremendously
with wearable shoes and education, but American
landfills are not being filled with usable shoes.

Education is the key to get out of the cycle of poverty,
both here in the United States and in Africa.  Please help
SFTP in its monumental task of changing lives forever.
