You might own a ton of sneakers, but there are people out there who have it tougher. Here are two shoe donation drives in Singapore that run till mid-April that you could donate your shoes to.

According to the Huffington Post, around 300 million people worldwide live without footwear, resulting in a number of dangerous accidents, especially amongst children. You can help alleviate the number of such accidents by donating a pair or two of your gently used shoes to these two shoe donation drives:

Soles4Souls

Sole4Souls, the non-profit social enterprise based in Tennessee, America, is running a shoe drive in Singapore. The organization aims to collect 25,000 pairs of gently used shoes to be distributed to children and adults worldwide.

Bear in mind that someone else will inherit and wear these shoes, so not any shoe will do. Please only send in lightly used shoes – sneakers, sports shoes, fashion and work shoes such as non-slip shoes used in the nursing and food service industries. Soles4Souls will not accept high heels, single shoes, slippers, Uggs, and fashion boots, damaged shoes and shoes without laces.

Date: March 27 to April 14
Time: 10am – 5pm, Mondays to Fridays
Venue: 203 Kallang Bahru, Million Building (Singapore, 339340)
