Empowering Education, One Step at a Time
Providing school shoes for underprivileged children across Kenya.
Providing school shoes for underprivileged children across Kenya.
Smiley Little Feet is a dedicated nonprofit organization focused on delivering essential footwear to school-aged children in Kenya who either lack shoes entirely or are wearing poorly fitted and inadequate ones.
We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to pursue education without the hindrance of inadequate basic necessities. Our mission is to ensure that every child in Kenya, regardless of their circumstances, has access to a decent and functional pair of shoes that can support their educational journey.
In various regions of Kenya, a significant number of children either do not own shoes or must wear ill-fitting or damaged footwear. This situation leads to injuries, infections, and a lack of confidence—hindering a child's ability to regularly attend school.
Research indicates that proper footwear substantially improves school attendance and academic performance. Yet millions of children face the challenge of inadequate footwear daily.

The shoes my children received have made such a difference. They no longer miss school because of foot injuries, and they're proud to wear their new shoes.
Since Smiley Little Feet provided shoes to our students, attendance has improved by 30%. This initiative is truly transforming education in our community.
I love my new shoes! Now I can run and play with my friends without hurting my feet. Thank you for making me happy to go to school.
