Charlize Theron Designing Shoes For Africa

December 20th, 2009

charlize-theron-overture-filmsCharlize Theron has joined forces with TOM shoes to create a limited-edition slip-on sneaker for men and women, with proceeds going to her non-profit project, Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project.

charlize-theron-overture-filmsThe actresses charity supports the improvement of health, education and social development of high schoolers in South Africa and says she’s “thrilled” to be a partner in the project.

Ten thousand pairs of shoes, with an African Baobab tree as it’s emblem, will be donated to impoverish children living in remote communities in her home country.

“We are so grateful for their generous donation of shoes to the students we work with,” Theron said in a statement.  “It’s exciting that we’re able to come together in such a cool and creative way to bring attention to the need of many South African youth.”
