A mission for better health, from the feet up

June 13, 2017 Education & Health

June 13, 2017

Manny Ohonme funded Samaritan’s Feet in 2003 with his wife Tracie. The nonprofit puts shoes on children and adults who have ill-fitting shoes or, as often, none at all. The goal is protection against soil-transmitted diseases.

Ohonme’s Nigerian boyhood changed when he received a pair of shoes, basketball shoes. He tells his story in the video below with humor, great enthusiasm and commitment.

In the video below, the presentation by Ohonme begins at minute 11:40. The Q&A begins at minute 39:15.

Ohonme brought two brochures. They are here and here.
