About I Got Shoes
A small charity with a big mission.
Our mission
I Got Shoes is a UK registered charity focused on transforming the lives of children in Uganda through education. We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and reach their full potential.
In many parts of Uganda, children cannot attend school without proper shoes and uniforms — these are not luxuries but essential requirements. A small donation can remove this barrier and open the door to education.
We work directly with communities in Uganda to identify children in need and provide them with shoes, school uniforms, fees, and educational grants. Every penny we raise goes towards making a real difference.
