The Women & Children’s Hope Foundation (WCHF) worked with Crocs to purchase and distribute 600 pairs of shoes to the Timo Health Clinic in Haiti. Staff at the clinic will use Crocs to educate children and parents about the importance of footwear to protect the feet from cuts and parasites and help provide for a better livelihood. The WCHF determined that Crocs’ easy-to-clean and long-lasting build would be the best shoe to accomplish their goals and provide the community with quality footwear.
