About Because International
Because International, based in Nampa, ID, is a brand on a mission to alleviate poverty through the distribution of impact products and by supporting product-focused entrepreneurs. Their flagship product, The Shoe That Grows, is a revolutionary innovation that can adjust and expand in size, providing growing children in impoverished communities with footwear that can last for years. The brand's founding story is rooted in a transformative experience.
In 2007, founder Kenton Lee witnessed a young girl in Kenya with drastically undersized shoes, prompting him to envision a shoe that could grow with a child's feet. This led to the development of The Shoe That Grows, which has since made a significant impact in improving the lives of children in need. Because International believes in the power of collaboration and aims to solve the complex issue of poverty by partnering with like-minded individuals and organizations.
Through their annual reports, they showcase the tangible impact of their work and inspire others to join their cause.
