Lee invented a shoe that can be adjusted up to five times and lasts for five years.

http://www.upworthy.com/he-met-dozens-of-kids-who-didnt-have-shoes-so-he-invented-5-pairs-in-1

After a successful crowdfunding campaign in 2011, Lee and his team at Because International were able to produce 2,000 shoes and provide them free of cost to kids in need in Nairobi. In April 2015, Because International started another campaign to raise funds for the next round of production, in hopes of getting 5,000 more shoes out to kids around the world. Take a look at the video below to learn more about this amazing company's journey and how you can help.



Because International is in the final stretch of their crowdfunding campaign to produce 5,000 of these incredible growing shoes for children in need. You can donate to their cause at www.crowdrise.com/TheShoe.

It will benefit children who have great need.

I was wondering who Lee is. I was finally able to track it down.
