Uganda Shoe Give 〰️
World-wide there are 1.2 Billion children with inadequate shoes. This is defined as too small, too large, unsafe, or no longer usable. As a humanitarian shoe organization, we want to see this changed. While in Uganda, our goal is to wash the feet of children and provide each with a properly fitted 360Mox pair of shoes. Having an adequate and properly fitted pair of shoes can change the life of a child when their education is at risk.
We make the washing and providing of shoes a priority. A human touch can provide hope for the future!
You will receive a lot of communication from us after you register but we also want to make sure we address the stuff that we do not do while on a My360Project trip. We ask that you remember we are here to be a servant to those in Uganda. We want them to feel loved, not used. We are not providing you a vacation but we are providing you with a mission experience. You will want to be mindful of your leader’s instructions; they are leading for a reason. We ask that you do not wander the streets of the area where you are staying. While lodgings are safe, keep in mind that you are a foreigner and in their eyes, you have a much needed resource of money. This can make you a target.
Our Ugandan trip is all inclusive, meaning you won’t need to bring cash for anything unless you want to buy souvenirs while in-country. You will pay *$2800 to cover all your mission fees (includes your deposit). You will do this by having shoes sponsored. Each pair is $35 and you’ll need to sponsor 80 pairs to go to Uganda. This does not include your flight from home to Entebbe, Uganda so keep this in mind as you fundraise and plan.
These are non-negotiable fees. Here is what is covered:
Lodging (including your bedding and towels)
All your food while in Uganda (During travel, you’ll need to make your own accommodations.)
All in-country transportation
Visas
(If you purchase goods while in-country, you are responsible for your own customs fees for those items.)Faith Ventures travel insurance (for emergency use only)
Visiting and partnering with local organizations and churches
80 pairs of My360 Mox (shoes) and socks to provide to the local children
(*Shoes not hand delivered on your trip, remain with My360 and will go towards future trips.)
This does not include:
Flights to and from home to Entebbe, UG
Shots required to travel internationally - Yellow Fever Vaccination is required by Uganda.
Malaria medications
(Please visit the CDC website for international travel vaccinations.)
Passport
Due with application: Non-refundable deposit - $500
This counts towards your overall needed amount and not in addition to it.
When you are seeking sponsors for shoes, please let them know that your total needed includes the shoes you will take. The shoes are $35 per pair. However, there is a small credit card processing fee so please be aware of this when making your payments and hitting your financial goals. For this reason, we ask that you closely monitor your funding. We will not be sending you reminders.
*Since this does NOT include travel, you should consider having a plan in place for your plane tickets. Travel should be purchased as early as possible so that you get the best rates. We will send you the contact information as it gets closer, but feel free to contact her personally for assistance on your ticket(s). She should already know about your trip when you contact her.
