  Her Best Foot Forward

CAUSES

Picture
When you select your sandals from Her Best Foot Forward, you're actually collaborating with the woman who made them - and helping support causes which elevate other girls and women.

HOW DOES THE COLLABORATION BETWEEN ARTISAN AND BUYER WORK?  Your sandals were made by a Tanzanian woman earning a fair wage and other benefits. She creates them with considerable pride  in knowing that proceeds from sandal sales will benefit other women and girls. The women of Her Best Foot Forward decide which of our charitable goals for girls and women benefit from each design. You'll purchase them at a fair price, sharing your bounty with the vetted, charitable pillars selected by the Artisans who made your sandals. Their talents/your treasure - bringing us all closer together.

HOW DO THE COLLABORATIONS WITH CAUSES WORK? We've identified organizations already effectively addressing fundamental humanitarian needs in Tanzania. So, in addition to supporting our own pilot project focused on menstrual hygiene and education, we also invest proceeds from purchases in other impactful charities already doing great work. View profiles of our selected causes here.

WANT TO  COLLABORATE WITH US?  A simple concept: our beautiful sandals can help your organization stride toward its goals. If you are a registered US 501c3 organization which shares our vision for empowering women and girls, use the form below to let us know you'd like to learn more about what it takes to become a benefiting charity of Her Best Foot Forward.

IN PROVIDING OPPORTUNITY. 
Employment with a fair wage allows our artisans to better provide for themselves and their families.

Through the creative process, our women artisans also experience an increase in self-esteem which bolsters their confidence and leadership in other aspects of their lives.

IN THE POWER OF EDUCATION.
This Swahili proverb - Elimu ni mali ambayo adui hawezi kuiteka articulates what we believe - Education is a possession that no enemy can take. Helping HBFF artisans access education and enrichment increases the likelihood that they will educate their children (and that their children will follow suit).

IN COLLABORATION AND UNDERSTANDING.
Our designs are Tanzanian -inspired but also embody the global values and vision of those who invest in a pair of Her Best Foot Forward sandals and the artisans who  make them.

IN HONORING TRADITIONS.
