How You Can Help

Take this opportunity to transform a child’s life. Today will determine if a little boy or girl will become a productive member of society or a victim of violence. The work of the Barefoot Foundation wouldn’t exist without our many supporters who donate, have their companies sponsor our programs, sponsor a child or simply tell others about this important work.  Add your voice to Shakira’s in the fight for universal education and a better life for these children.
