More than 767 million people live on less than $2 a day. What most of them lack in money, they make up for in resilience and resourcefulness. They may feel discouraged and limited, but somehow they still manage to make do with what they have. 
“Micro-enterprise” means small business and it’s a powerful model for empowering people living in extreme poverty. Shoes are a resource that individuals who live in extremely poor countries can use to start a small business. Your shoe donations mean a constant supply of quality product..
This ensures these fledgling businesses can be sustained long-term. Small business owners earn sufficient income to purchase necessities like food, shelter and education for their families.
