Good Luck Charity
BRINGING THE WORLD A
LITTLE BIT OF GOOD NEWS
Our name is central to what we do.
By raising
awareness,
we aim to halt the damage that modern footwear
manufacturing causes to
people and the planet. Part of our ethical promise
is a commitment to challenge a fast
-
paced fashion
industry that creates
vast wastage and
create simple solutions to long
-
term problems
.
Good Luc
k Shoes Project
By working in close collaboration with our
factories and suppliers,
GOOD LUCK SHOES was created
-
to help provide functional footwear
to migrants arriving in Italy.
To date, we have provided over 3000 pairs of functional shoes to
migrants and refugees arriving in
Italy.
Aside from donating sho
es to those who need them, we
i
nter
ested in getting to know the peop
le
who are temporarily housed at
t
hese immigration centres. What are their stories? What motivated
their journey to Europe? What are their
ambitions
? What happens
next...
