I have had several people ask about getting a job with Sole Hope making shoes. Sole Hope wants to not only teach a trade to those needing jobs in Africa, but we want to make a difference in our home town, Asheville, NC. The ideal person for this job would be someone who has struggled in the past but has made changes in their life and is trying to start over. This person needs to be reliable, a hard worker and have a good attitude. After all, you will be making a difference while making shoes. The shoes made here in Asheville will be sold in Asheville with half of the proceeds going to build up Sole Hope in Zambia and Uganda by empowering more women to make shoes, and then the shoes going to orphans at no cost.
If this sounds like something you would like to be a part of register for the 5 week Elevate shoe making class by going to: www.elevatelifeandart.com
OR
If you just want to learn how to make shoes for whatever reason, you too should go sign up! For more details go to: www.elevatelifeandart.com
If you have questions please email us at solehopeafrica@gmail.com
The Elevate classes will be two hour classes for five weeks. They will take place at 34 S. Lexington St. in downtown Asheville. Classes are $5 a class. If you cannot afford that please let us know by sending us an email and we would be glad to waive the fee for those that are interested in working for Sole Hope at some point. You do not need to have any sewing experience. We will provide the machines and all the materials.
I hope you can join me for these fun classes! Go sign up by going to the link above-class size is limited.

By the end of this class you will be able to make a shoe from a pattern, sew it together and use a regular and industrial sewing machine. If you would like to make a pair of shoes to keep please bring your own materials. (please let us know before the first class so we can let you know what materials to bring) If you do not bring your own materials we will provide everything, but we ask that your shoes be donated to an orphan through Sole Hope.
