The need for quality school shoes doesn't end on 18 July. We're inviting select corporate partners to move beyond a once-off gesture and into a standing collaboration — co-branded donation drives, back-to-school campaigns, or a recurring CSI allocation supported by Smart Steps' exclusive corporate rates.

Since 1989, we've built the sourcing, sizing and distribution infrastructure to make this easy on your side, so your team gets the impact and the story, without the logistics. If your organisation is thinking about CSI as a relationship rather than a line item, we'd like to start that conversation this Mandela Day.

A child who walks into class in shoes that fit, that don't leak, that don't fall apart by mid-term — that's a child who can focus on learning instead of on what other children might notice.

This Mandela Day, Smart Steps is partnering with corporates who want their giving to be felt, not just seen. Our exclusive discounted rates on quality school shoes mean your donation goes further, reaching more children with comfort, durability and dignity built in.

Whether you're supporting a school, a community organisation, or a charity close to your team's heart, we'll help you turn your contribution into something a child can literally stand tall in.

As you finalise Mandela Day and year-end CSI allocations, Smart Steps offers a straightforward way to convert spend into measurable, reportable social impact.

Our corporate school shoe donation packages are priced at exclusive discounted rates, come with delivery confirmation and beneficiary documentation for your CSI/SED reporting, and can be scaled to match whatever budget has been allocated.

Since 1989, Smart Steps has supplied durable, classroom-ready school shoes across South Africa, giving your organisation a credible, locally rooted partner for this initiative. We'd welcome the opportunity to discuss a package that fits your reporting cycle and budget.

This Mandela Day, Smart Steps is inviting your organisation to turn 67 minutes of goodwill into something a child can literally walk in. For every corporate partner who joins our Mandela Day shoe donation drive, we're offering exclusive discounted rates on quality school shoes — so your CSI budget stretches further and reaches more children who need it.

It's simple: you commit the spend, we handle sourcing, sizing and distribution to a school or community partner of your choice. Let's make this year's 67 minutes count for longer than a day. Get in touch and we'll put together a package suited to your budget.
