Your pupils' outgrown shoes and uniform go straight to a named partner school, and you'll see them arrive. One school, one friendship, year after year.
Three simple steps. We handle the matching and the shipping, so all your school has to do is collect.
Register in two minutes. We introduce you to a partner school in Kenya and share what its pupils need most.
Run a shoe collection at your school, then pack everything up safely using our simple packing guide and video. No special equipment needed.
We will arrange collection from your school and delivery to your partner school in Kenya, they will then send back photos and news so your pupils see exactly where their shoes went.
Every London school is paired with one school in Kenya. Tap a pair to follow their story.

How it started
Before visiting a school in Kenya that he helps to support, Jonathan asked other parents at his sons' London schools if they had any outgrown shoes to spare. The response surprised him. Bags of good, wearable shoes, far more than he could carry.
So many families wanted to help, and so many children needed shoes for the walk to school. Kids2Kids exists to connect the two, directly, one school at a time.
