Everyone Should Have a Chance to Join in our Mission
W E B E L I E V E
IN PROVIDING OPPORTUNITY.
Employment with a fair wage allows HBFF 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.
The rich cultural heritage of the Maasai people - in particular the intricate and creative beading which is their hallmark - is celebrated in every pair of sandals from Her Best Foot Forward. |
HER BEST FOOT FORWARD - FOUNDED IN ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI BY PEOPLE WHO KNOW WOMEN CAN CHANGE THE WORLD
