5 FACTS FOR THIS PURPOSE.


1: In some developing nations, children must walk for miles to food, clean water and to seek medical help.
2: Cuts and sores on feet can lead to serious infection.
3: Often, children cannot attend school barefoot.
4: In Ethiopia, approximately one million people are suffering from Podoconiosis.
A Podoconiosis is debilitating and disfiguring disease caused by walking barefoot in volcanic soil.
5: Podoconiosis is 100% preventable by wearing shoes.
