The Soul Project

The Soul Project is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization founded in 2007 by Martin Kumi. His kind heart and childhood experiences enabled him to be able to give back and deliver words of encouragement to those in need. The Soul Project is a rising organization of people willing to make a difference in the life of someone through gift of shoes.

The Soul Project

The goal of The Soul Project International is to encourage and serve children who are less fortunate and underpriviledged locally and internationally. Our primary focus is to supply shoes and school supplies (i.e. pencils, paper, school bags, ect) to the children all around the world. Even as there are numerous people, especially children, who don't own a pair of shoes; it is our goal that these children are protected with a new pair of shoes.

The Soul ProjectOur Mission

"You never know a person's journey until you walk a mile in their shoes."

Martin Kumi's life experiences gave him every reason to be a blessing to children in need today, even through shoes. During his childhood days, he had a friend who would loan him a pair of shoes each week due to his lack of possessing one of his own. However, he wasn't the only one who had to borrow shoes, so if he was not lucky he wouldn't get a pair. In instances where he didn't have a pair of shoes, Martin walked miles to school barefoot.

He arrived in the USA in 1994 and since then, he has always developed a desire to collect shoes to assist children that are in the same situation he was in as a child. In 2007, The Soul Project began. It started from one pair of shoes from a garbage container. He began picking shoes from different garbage containers, and then it led to schools and other organizations making donations. Since 2007, he has raised over 500,000 pairs of shoes and inspired the lives of many.

SHOES OF HOPEOUR WORK

In the past couple of months, The Soul Project has been hosting shoe drives to get us one step closer to our goal. At each event we raise awareness of the number of barefoot individuals in our world today. Most of us take our shoes for granted but in anothers's life, it makes a world of difference. Hundreds of thousands of shoes are donated at each event and we get one shoe, for one foot, one step at a time.

Give shoes, change lives....
