For many children, a pair of shoes marks the difference between walking to school and staying home. Bare feet on rough roads bring blisters, infections, and shame, burdens no child should carry. 

Partnering with Village Step Foundation and Access Bank Zambia, World Vision Zambia handed new shoes to 100 children this week, restoring dignity and sparking joy on every face. 

New shoes protect small feet, build confidence, and keep young learners walking toward a brighter future.
