Because International is a nonprofit organization dedicated to using products as solutions to alleviate poverty. Kenton Lee founded the organization in 2009 after being inspired to create a growing shoe while working with children at an orphanage in Nairobi, Kenya. Since then, over 350,000 pairs of The Shoe That Grows have been distributed in over 100 countries around the world. Now, we're using what we've learned from bringing a manufactured product to market and training global entrepreneurs who have their own innovative products through the Because Accelerator. These entrepreneurs are creating jobs and elevating their communities. Learn more at becauseinternational.org.
