what are jiggers?

​

A jigger is an extremely small flea that burrows into a person's skin, latches onto blood vessels, and lays eggs. These eggs then hatch and mature, leading to an infestation. Within days, jiggers swell over 1,000 times its size, leading to painful swelling, itching, infection, and in severe cases, amputation or loss of life. 

​

where will your donations go?

All â€‹shoe patterns will be hand-delivered to a team of 25 shoemakers in Jinja, Uganda to be crafted

into close-toed shoes to protect all who wear them from jiggers.

The journey of denim and plastic starts with you and ends with one more child

protected from harmful, debilitating fleas.
