Beyond the Orphanage

Ethiopia's orphans are some of the most vulnerable children on earth. With a unique support model, Beyond the Orphanageplaces at-risk orphans with families to become self-reliant adults. They are small enough to be there for each child, experienced enough to give the right support, and strong enough to help each child create the future that's right for them.  They are a non-profit and non-denominational and take children of any race, gender or physical or mental ability. Founded by Australian pilot, Geoff Hucker, Beyond The Orphanage helps to create real hope for orphaned children and their communities in Ethiopia.


Beyond the Orphanage is the beneficiary charity of the VIVOBAREFOOT Soul of Africa collection, where key styles are produced in Ethiopian factories using local resources and provide sustainable employment through Aid Through Trade. A portion of all profits at distribution and retailer levels from the sale of each pair of VIVOBAREFOOT Soul of Africa shoes in Australia goes towards the Beyond The Orphanage charity.
