School shoes idea moves to Peru
26/07/2012
Children aged between six and 13 at more than 40,000 schools throughout the South American country will receive the shoes as part of a school package, which will also include a uniform and school materials.
The government said it was implementing the idea as part of a wider social inclusion programme; children in mountain, coastal and rainforest communities will be the principal recipients of the products. However, the move is also a boost for small and medium-sized footwear and clothing manufacturers across the country.
