This 10-Year-Old Is Bringing Shoes to Girls in Need in Ghana
In developing countries like Ghana, an estimated 15% of school-aged children suffer from parasitic diseases, partly due to lack of proper footwear. And while countless nonprofits donate millions of shoes a year to kids in need, kids quickly wear out - or grow out of - their shoes.
That's why 10-year-old Khloe Thompson brought a group of Ghanaian girls a special gift: The Shoe That Grows. These sandals actually grow with kids, and can adjust up to 5 shoe sizes.
