Thanks @BIUK for sharing our story! @ShoeThatGrows is about small things that make a big difference for kids (life-changing products), families (jobs via manufacturing), & entrepreneurs (via mentoring/support). The product isn't the solution, but innovation moves to system change https://t.co/YI7ZiYaikr

[Insider International @InsiderIntl]

This charity invented a shoe that can grow up to five sizes, and they're helping to stop children in developing countries walking barefoot.

[nathan roskam @nathanroskam]

@drantbradley @shoethatgrows is after that better, more humanizing, long-term solution. We'd love to share with you the direction we're pursuing as a result of years of listening to those in the areas we are providing support. Pursuing economic growth is key. Would you be open to advise us?

[nathan roskam @nathanroskam]

@drantbradley Our team @becauseintl /@ShoeThatGrows seeks to listen. Long term solutions are rooted in opportunities for kids, families(via jobs), and entrepreneurs.We are seeking to do that through products,and recognize we don't know it all. Can you connect us w/more conversation partners?

[nathan roskam @nathanroskam]

@ValaAfshar thanks for sharing the story of the @ShoeThatGrows! Our world is changed for the better when individuals like yourself leverage their voice and influence to seek to provide opportunity for those whose voice is not heard. Thank You!

[nathan roskam @nathanroskam]

@saveonebyone Jennifer! I work with The Shoe That Grows and would love to help you get started on your 100 pairs of life-changing shoes for 100 incredible kids!
