SOLE PURPOSE

Over three decades ago, on one hot summer afternoon at a camp in Lagos, Nigeria, a stranger from Wisconsin befriended a young African boy named Manny. This nine-year-old, like so many others in his community, had never known the comfort and security of owning a pair of shoes. But that day, everything changed for Manny—a new pair of shoes and message of hope changed the trajectory of his life.

In this inspiring book, you will read the dramatic story of how that one gift not only transformed Manny’s life, but how it became a catalyst for an organization that is giving hope and opportunity to millions of people in need around the world.
