Sneakers for Sweepers — A programme of AEKE Foundation
A good pair of shoes can change a working day.
Sneakers for Sweepers provides quality footwear and essentials to the street sweepers and sanitation workers who keep Nigerian cities clean. One pair at a time.
"Care for every step."
Why we exist
Restoring Dignity to Labour
The people who keep our cities clean walk dozens of kilometres a day. They deserve to be seen, supported and celebrated.
"A pair of shoes is small to you. It can be the
world to someone whose feet have done thirty
kilometres before lunch."

Three simple steps from your gift to a sweeper's morning.

We work with hygiene companies in the cities we serve to provide all road sweepers with comfortable footwear to enable them perform optimally.
Donate
You sponsor a pair, a bundle, or a whole drive. Every ₦ goes directly into programme delivery.
Deliver
Our team hand-delivers shoes and essentials, captures the story, and sends you photos and the field log.
