Project ESPWA

June 2023 – We wear shoes to protect our feet from injury, infection and the elements. Last month we received a donation of thousands of pairs of waterproof Bogs Footwear. Thanks to Project ESPWA we sent them straight out to Ukraine with a view to secure storage until the winter months. Earlier this week they were transported to the Kherson region after the collapse of the Nova Kakhovka dam. Sal’s Shoes have started finding their new feet. Over 80 villages have ben flooded leaving homes and local economies temporarily crippled. Over 450,000 people are estimated to not have access to drinking water.
