Sseko \say-ko\ Designs was created to help the bright young women of war-torn Uganda continue their education. The Ugandan school system is designed with a nine month gap between secondary school and university. These nine months are intended to allow time for students to earn money for tuition before continuing on to university. However, in an impoverished and male dominated society, many of these young women struggle to find fair work during this time.
Sseko Designs hires recent secondary school graduates for this nine month period to live and work together, while earning money that will go directly towards their university education. These women will not make sandals forever. They will go on to be doctors, lawyers, politicians, writers and teachers that will bring change and unification to a country divided and ravished by a 22 year-long war.
We’re loving these handmade sandals for their philanthropic statement as much as for their customizability! Priced under $50, these sandals are cute and affordable AND support an AMAZING cause! You can literally change your entire shoe in five minutes for less than $10 and we have 12 different color/pattern options for you to choose from!
Leather Sole: $39.00
Solid Strap: $8.00
Patterned Strap: $10.00
