Latin America
Latin America is a fantastic continent due to its natural resources and the beauty of its people. If you have the opportunity to visit some of its countries you will experience incredible and diverse cultures and ethnicity that characterizes different landscapes and people. From Indian descendants in Peru and Bolivia to African and European descendants in Brazil. The landscape also varies: from the Atacama desert in Chile, the wonders of Machu Picchu (Peru), the Titicaca Lake (Bolivia), to the fabulous beaches in the Caribbean.
It is a rich and fascinating land – rich in cultural diversity and history and rich in natural and mineral resources. On the other hand, Latin America is a continent that suffers from an extreme discrepancy between wealth, poverty and exploitation.
Considering this scenario, Crocs, Inc., through the Crocs CaresSM program, has donated hundreds of thousands of shoes in the poorest areas of big cities such as Bogota or Lima, as well as in the smaller towns and cities throughout these regions. Crocs™ shoes are perfect for these hot, wet, and humid climates. Crocs™ shoes are lightweight, with adequate ventilation, easy to clean and promote incredible comfort. Perfect shoes to wear all day long!
Through the Crocs CaresSM program we make a commitment to social responsibility and are dedicated to providing shoes to benefit less fortunate Latin American people who suffer from poverty and hunger.
