That's why, we at Zapatos Rotos wanted to create and validate people’s profiles and tell you their stories to help humanize their needs and make them more visible, just as a friend would.

Singing For Hope
Mexico City - Here at Zapatos Rotos (ZR), we recently learned of a group of 18 young girls who live in an orphanage.

We contacted the orphanage to setup an appointment and just completed our first visit with the group.
