Has it ever occurred to you that your deferred shoes could still be useful - and help somebody who really needs it?
I want to joinThe idea of the Shoes4life project is simple. Most of us find at least one unnecessary sports shoes at home that could still be used for its purpose - and unfortunately, there are many of those who have no shoes at all.
Why not simply unite the two sides. And it does not matter whether your shoes are going all the way to the other end of the world, or they will contribute to children from the neighbouring village to fulfil their football dream. The goal is to help those who really need it.

Successful representatives and winners of the Champions league and European league Vladimir Smicer and Tomas Ujfalusi, exquisite striker horst Siegl, or the football expert of the Czech Television Josef Nemec. This is a very brief summary of the football personalities which promoted a project presented by the chairwoman of CAFH Marketa haindlova in New York on 3 November 2015 at the conference called Save the dreams.
Do you have shoes, which you don’t wear anymore and it seems, that it is a pity to throw them in the trash? Give them a second chance through a charity project called Shoes4Life. You can donate them to people in developing countries. The football players Tomáš Ujfaluši, Vladimír Šmicer, Horst Siegl, Josef Němec, Martin Hyský, the sports director of the Czech Association of Football Players Dominik Rodinger or journalist Pavel Novotný also contributed to the project and have donated their shoes.
The Czech association of fotball players supported children from an African orphanage in Rwanda thanks to its charity company Sport United, o.p.s. Thanks to the cooperation of partners Puma, Urban Store and DIC a project was created, which purpose was the delivery of shoes and booties to children in orphanage Kigarama (meaning „Hope“) in Rwanda. The orphanage Kigarama is located near to the border with Congo and is run by a German charity organisation L’Esperance. The purpose of the orphanage is to provide a substitute „home“ for children from Rwanda.
This whole storage was filled with your football shoes to the children from Cape Verde. Fernando Neves, who was the founder of the school for the children, has taken them over. Therefore the local children can educate themselves as well as train fully and dream about stepping into the world of great football. We would like to cordially thank to everybody for the cooperation and believe that the children will be very pleased by this act.
The group of retired, as well as current professional players, have met in the Prague Fashion club today. Radek Cerny, Martin Fenin, Fernando Neves, Ivo Ulich, Pavel Hasek, Vlastimil vidlicka and Dominik Rodinger – those are the players who decided to promote the charity project under the patronage of Marketa Haindlova. Under the supervision of the prominent photographer Ondrej Pycha, in cooperation with the hairstyle salon of Petra Mechurova and with the brand Rouge Bunny rouge, unique photoshots have originated and will be sold in auction during the upcoming month, in order to promote the project Shoes4Life.
How can a second life of deferred shoes look like? Look yourself where your shoes helped good things - instead of lying forgotten in your shelf.
