Working with Sole Hope, we focused on jigger parasite removal from people's feet, shoe supplies and infection prevention training. We also provided materials and equipment for a shoe-making workshop so they can supply Jinja communities with protective footwear to combat this crippling disease.

We are teamed up with Sole Hope to help thousands of people in Uganda, Africa with much-needed relief from jiggers and the harmful effects they cause. They work to restore people’s lives by removing jiggers and ensuring once-infested people remain jigger-free. They conduct clinics throughout rural villages in Uganda, removing thousands of jiggers in a single day.


Beyond direct care and treatment, Sole Hope has developed shoe making facilities using recycled materials to construct shoes and distribute them for free ensuring that once-infested people will remain jigger-free. Your Mite will equip a shoe factory in Uganda that will produce shoes for years.

Check out the Celebration Video for the results of this fantastic outreach made possible through your generosity!

Project 12 is Complete!

It’s with a heavy heart we leave Uganda to head home. We are so thankful for our partnership with Sole Hope on Project 12. To witness the outreach they have in Uganda and how they engage and employ local Ugandans is amazing. We are grateful to be a part of their growth.

Thank you to the Miters who gave to Project 12. Your Mite will continue to impact thousands of people throughout the years. We hope to return! Stay tuned for the Project 12 Celebration Video. #zerojiggers


Time to Celebrate!

Today we visited Sole Hope’s new shoe workshop and saw how your Mite was put to work through Project 12! Amazing is all we have to say.
Miters donations not only mean a bigger outreach for Sole Hope, but also many more local Ugandans will be employed in order to fill the workshop. We are so grateful to each and every one of you! Your impact is HUGE. #zerojiggers


Workshop in Action!

Today Mite’s Team traveled with Sole Hope to a rural village hours away from Jinja and set up the clinic. The children’s feet were washed and then all jiggers were removed by a team of professional Ugandan medics. They were then equipped with the proper tools (shoes) and education on how to live a jigger free lifestyle. “These shoes are not just a nice gift or gesture; THEY TRULY CHANGE LIVES.” #zerojiggers


Outreach Clinic Visit

We have arrived in Jinja, Uganda today and are in the field with Sole Hope. Tomorrow we will be driving 2 hours away to a rural village where we will be setting up a clinic for the day. Sole Hopes medical staff will be washing feet and removing jiggers. After the removal of jiggers the patients are educated on cleanliness and how to lead a lifestyle of jigger prevention. Thank you for Giving Your Mite!

Stay tuned for more updates from the field! #zerojiggers
