At Sarmies, we are transforming school shoe manufacturing in the developing world by establishing an affordable, sustainable, and circular economy around our shoes. Outdated production methods leave millions of children barefoot and many in ill-fitting shoes that lead to health issues.

Our solution features a DIY footwear kit designed for local needs, ensuring comfort and proper fit. By decentralising production, we empower communities and aim to create over 1 million community entrepreneurs within the next decade, driving job creation and skills development.

Our eco-friendly approach utilises reusable and recyclable materials, minimising waste and resource use. Additionally, our NFC activated App will offer instructional videos, marketplace, educational resources and community support initiatives like feeding programs, enhancing social outcomes.

Join us in revolutionising school shoes for a better, more sustainable future for children everywhere.
