Help Save Lives in Uganda
An organization that needs more attention is Sole Hope. Sole hope is a nonprofit organization that creates shoes out of old jeans for people living in Uganda. The people in Uganda suffer from a parasite called jiggers. Jiggers are very painful. People can’t walk, they get very infected, and people die from having these jiggers. Sole hope creates shoes so that the people in Uganda don’t walk around barefoot and get these jiggers. The steps to action are very easy, simple, and inexpensive. You trace shapes onto old pairs of jeans, trace four of one shape, and trace 2 of the other shape on the jeans and trace 2 of the last shape on a plastic folder, then cut the shapes out, and then paper clip them together. Those 8 cutouts create one pair of shoes. You then send them to the company who creates the shoes and gives them to the people of Uganda. Awareness needs to be brought about this problem. People to not think of not having shoes as a problem...
