About Samaritan's Feet
There are over 300 million children who go without shoes every day. It's their only mode of transportation. That's why Samaritan's Feet was started.

Samaritan's Feet is a humanitarian relief organization that puts shoes on the feet of children all around the world. Our goal is to provide-10 million pairs of shoes for 10 million impoverished people in 10 years. To date, nearly 2.5 million pairs of shoes for children around the world have been collected.

It was started in 2003 by President and Founder, Manny Ohonme. Manny received his first pair of shoes at the age of 9 from a missionary. He started playing basketball and other sports with these new pair of shoes. He earned a spot on a traveling basketball team and eventually his high school team. Upon graduating high school, he was offered a scholarship to play basketball at University of North Dakota (Lake Region) where he received his Bachelor's and Master's Degrees.

Manny spent ten years in the marketing and logistics business before he started Samaritan's Feet to help children and pay it forward to what he was given-a pair of shoes that gave him hope.

Our focus is on children from USA, Africa, South America and the Caribbean.
