THE MOST IMPACTFUL SHOES
ON THE PLANET
Is your mission looking for ways to make an impact in Haiti? Check out our local school shoes for Haitian students.
WHY SCHOOL SHOES
At the start of ever school year, students in the United States bid farewell to summer vacation and head back to the classroom. On the first day of school, it's tradition for children to wear a new pair of shoes.
Many students in Haiti, however, don't share their experience. Often, children wear ill-fitting shoes that have been handed down—if they have shoes at all. Without proper footwear, children run the risk of being injured or being exposed to soil transmitted diseases that enter through feet. And without the right school shoes, children are often not permitted to enter the classroom.
It is a situation that Deux Mains has been working to fix since 2019. Manufacturing appropraite school shoes locally is a solution that far surpasses the donated shoe model and is now widely available to organizations all over the country.


IT MATTERS WHERE SHOES ARE MADE
Our team of local shoe makers proudly manufactures school shoes for mission team distribution. Increase your impact in Haiti and be a leader in changing the way we support Haitians climb out of poverty.Partner with the Haitian shoe factory, Deux Mains, and create a lasting impact in your schools and for families in Haiti. We are looking for industry leaders who believe Haiti can rise by educating and employing its citizens...and it starts with something as simple as school shoes.
In Haiti, only 15% of the population have a full time job. Yet every student needs a good pair of school shoes. Making shoes in Haiti makes sense for school children and the crafts people who make them. Every member of the workforce supports 8-10 additional family members directly. With 50 employees, this means that Deux Mains directly impacts 400-500 people.
THE DEUX MAINS DIFFERENCE
Our shoes are relevant and durable. They were designed to fit local uniform requirements, and made stylish enough for young students to love them. With uppers made from genuine leather, and soles from durable rubber, they are built to last on long mountain road commutes.
The need is overwhelming. NGOs, Non-Profits, Missions & Charities in Haiti have expressed the need for locally made, quality shoes for the students they support, rather than ship them in from abroad.
