Using shoes for water is all around good.
1. It's green - keeps shoes out of landfills or from being incinerated releasing dangerous chemicals into the atmosphere.
2. It's good business - selling shoes to other countries builds their local economy.
3. It's hygienic - affordable shoes protect precious feet in developing countries from infection and parasites.
4. It's life saving - the monies EDGE generates from shoes provide safe water projects for people around the world.

EDGE OUTREACH has partnered with Shoeman Water Projects where used shoe collections provide funding for water projects worldwide. Used shoes and clothes are the seventh largest export in the United States. However, most Americans discard shoes each year to be incinerated. The smoke then releases dangerous chemicals into the atmosphere.
