Little Feet. Long Roads. Big Dreams. — Shoe Drive 2026
For children in tea estate communities who walk kilometres over rough roads to learn, a pair of school shoes protects their journey. Help us equip children across 10+ villages in the Hatton District.
10+villages in Hatton District
For many children growing up in the tea estates, getting to school and our Education Centres means walking long distances each day — sometimes many kilometres, over rough and uneven roads.
Every two years, we provide school shoes because by then, the children’s shoes have usually worn out from the journey.
This year, we want to do it again. ❤️
