2．Children grow quickly，especially their feet．But many families cannot buy new shoes each time a child needs them．As a result，about 300 million children around the world go barefoot．Those children risk picking up diseases and parasites from the soil．
Kenton Lee，an American man invented The Shoe That Grows．He explains，"It grows in three places：the front，on the side and on the back．It can last up to five years．The bottom is rubber like tire rubber．The top is just high-quality leather．"
Lee says he got the idea for the shoe while working as a volunteer in an orphanage in Kenya．"I just remember a little girl who wore a pair of small shoes．The shoes were so small that she had to cut open the front of her shoes to let her toes stick out．And I just remember thinking，wouldn't it be nice if there were a pair of shoes that could grow with her feet．"
However，Lee says it was not easy to turn his idea into a reality．Finally，in 2009 Lee founded a non-profit organization called Because International．In the office of Because International，Lee keeps a pair of his own shoes to help him remember his promise．
A pair of shoes，he says，gives more than protection．It gives a child self-worth and more chances to succeed．"Because it's a small thing that really does make a big difference to keep them healthy and happy and having more chances to succeed．"
Kenton Lee adds that his goal is to help get The Shoe That Grows to as many children as he can around the world．
