Our Programs
At REFi Gives, we believe dignity is greater than dependency. We restore hope and equip people to build self-sustaining futures through skill, service, and opportunity.
The Cobbler School
Teaching men and women trade skills and entrepreneurship to build self-sufficient futures.
REFi Shoes Initiative
A sustainable shoe brand that employs local cobblers and donates school shoes to children.
Trash-for-Shoes Program
Children earn shoes by collecting recyclable materials — a hand up, not a handout.
Financial Literacy Training
We teach budgeting and small business skills to help families grow what they earn.
From Poverty To Possibility
Meet Daniel
From Jobless to a Skilled Artisan
"Before joining the Cobbler School, I had no stable income. Today, I make and sell my own shoes and teach others in my village. REFi Gives didn't just give me a skill — they gave me dignity."
Daniel, Graduate of the REFi Cobbler School
