Give to shoebox project and bring joy to underprivileged children

If you’ve wanted to do something nice, but didn’t know what, here’s a great idea…

HAPPY LAD: This young boy was really happy to receive this Shoe Box full of special gifts.

BY now, you’ve probably heard of the annual Santa’s Shoebox Project, and that it brings smiles to thousands of underprivileged children’s faces.

If you’ve wanted to do something good, but didn’t know what, here’s a great idea…

The Santa’s Shoebox Project has been in existence for 12 years, with 762 594 shoeboxes (containing eight prescribed items) distributed to underprivileged children around South Africa and Namibia to date. The organisation’s aim is to hand out the millionth shoebox in 2019.

The success of the Project can largely be attributed to its personal nature – donors give gifts to children whose first names, ages and genders are known. It also relies on the generosity of various corporate sponsors that pledge Santa Shoeboxes as part of their Corporate Social Investment programmes.

HAPPY LITTLE GIRL: This Santa’s Shoe Box recipient was thrilled with her gifts.

The project is supported by an extensive network of volunteers who give freely of their time and expertise without remuneration. If you want to do something kind, you are more than welcome to contribute to this project as well!
