The Small Steps Project will launch its 6th annual Celebrity Shoes Auction on November 1, raising funds to provide shoes, emergency aid and sustainable solutions for children surviving on rubbish dumps.
Former Celebrity Reporter, Amy Hanson, founded the charity after she visited a rubbish dump in Cambodia. She was so shocked seeing thousands of barefoot children, scavenging through toxic waste for survival, that she quit her job and asked every celebrity she had interviewed to donate their shoes for auction, so she could provide shoes to children living on landfill.
Today the charity provides nurseries, neonatal, medical, education, hygiene, nutrition and outreach projects for children in Romania, Cambodia and Laos. Thanks to the incredible support of celebrities the charity not only protects children’s feet but supports them in taking small steps off the dump and out of poverty.
