Man Invents Growing Shoes for Poor Kids Who Can't Afford New Ones

You may not love your shoes, but you sure want them everyday. Look how Kenton Lee, the man who made one that grew, helped to make sandals that can grow and adjust according to their needs, letting poor children to grow without buying new ones everyday.

This is one shoe that can grow five sizes, and last for five years. They will sure change millions of lives.

Barefooted children in Kenya made him realize the importance of shoes for African children. "Wouldn't it be great," he pondered, "if there was a shoe that could adjust and expand - so that kids always had a pair of shoes that fit?" according to goodnewsnetwork

Kenton's reasoning is that "There are over 300 million children who do not have shoes. And countless more with shoes that do not fit."

Making new shoes all the time throughout the year is bound to create problems with shoes---you have to keep buying new ones all the time, isn't it?

Hence, Kenton became the Founder and Executive Director of Because International, a nonprofit organization headquartered in Nampa, Idaho. The miracle shoe's prototype was made in 2013, and touched the world for the crowdfunding of the wonderful discovery. The first 100 shoes were shipped to children in Nairobi, Kenya, according to cultureofawareness.

The shoes protect the children from "soil-based diseases and infections", and follow the direction of their feet.
