Empowering Lives, One Step at a Time
At REFi Gives, we believe that true change begins when people are given the chance to build their own future. Through our shoemaking initiative in Kenya, we’re turning hope into opportunity — training local cobblers, creating jobs, and giving children the gift of walking proudly to school.
Our Approach (How We Create Impact)
Train
Teaching craftsmanship through the Cobbler School.
Produce
Creating locally made, durable shoes.
Give
Donating shoes to children who need them most.
Empower
Supporting self-sustaining communities.
From Jobless to a Skilled Artisan
Before joining the Cobbler School, I had no stable income. Today, I make and sell my own shoes and teach others in my village. REFi Gives didn’t just give me a skill — they gave me dignity

You Can Be Part of the Change
Every dollar helps us train more cobblers, make more shoes, and give more children the chance to walk with confidence.
