ABOUT BECAUSE INTERNATIONAL

Because International’s mission is to alleviate poverty by distributing impact products and supporting product-focused entrepreneurs. Our first product was The Shoe That Grows, a shoe that expands five sizes and lasts for years. To date, over 400,000 pairs have gone to kids and families around the world and it’s being produced in Kenya—bringing jobs to one of the countries where The Shoe That Grows is distributed most.

Now we’re taking what we’ve learned from developing a manufactured product and sharing this knowledge with entrepreneurs who have their own ideas for innovative products. The Because Accelerator is a completely online program that helps entrepreneurs take their products to the next level through training, coaching, networking and funding. We want to help local leaders create local jobs and elevate their communities.
