About The Shoe Foundation
The Shoe Foundation began in 2012 with just one student, raising the funds needed to support her throughout five years of high school and on to university.
More than a decade later, the Foundation continues to help learners complete their secondary education, providing the support and opportunities they need to learn, grow and build a brighter future.
What does your donation mean?
Your donation directly supports a learner throughout their high school journey.
In partnership with Camps Bay High School, we provide five years of support from Grade 8 to Matric, covering school fees, uniforms, books, stationery, transport and other essential needs.
We stay connected with our learners and their families throughout, supporting their progress both in and beyond the classroom.
When you give to The Shoe Foundation, you’re not simply donating — you’re investing in a child’s future.

A message
from our
First Scholar
During my time with The Shoe Foundation, I received such genuine support, guidance, and encouragement to help me become the best version of myself. Their support turned a stressful situation into a journey I could actually enjoy, letting me focus on my studies without the weight holding me back. That kind of care is a true reflection of The Shoe Foundation’s heart, it’s not just about funding, it’s about lifting people up with kindness and real support. Thank you to The Shoe Foundation.
