I rushed home to find some pairs of shoes that I could give them. Seeing my shoe rack, it dawned upon me that I had so many pairs stacked up which I wasn\u2019t even wearing anymore,\u201d says the Neev Academy student. It gnawed on her till she had to do something about it. \u201cI started researching, and found that according to WHO stats, 1.5 billion people worldwide don\u2019t have shoes to wear, and around 350 million pairs of shoes are discarded each year,\u201d says Sia, who was left aghast with the numbers.<\/p>\n<p>What began as a dinner table conversation with her parents soon took the form of the Sole Warriors initiative. \u201cMy parents asked me to come up with a concrete plan regarding collection and distribution, and research on it. This gave me a sense of purpose,\u201d reveals Sia. Within a month, Sia launched it at a Kormangala apartment, and collected 500 pairs. \u201cIt was a huge boost, knowing that I was going in the right direction after a month of making posters to spread the word, and connecting with volunteers on WhatsApp,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9439 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.globalindian.com\/youth\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/sw2.jpg\" alt=\"Teen Social Activist | Sia Godika \" width=\"1080\" height=\"810\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1080px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1080\/810;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9439 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globalindian.com\/youth\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/sw2.jpg\" alt=\"Teen Social Activist | Sia Godika \" width=\"1080\" height=\"810\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>Soon word spread, and she was added to many groups on WhatsApp and this helped intensify the initiative. With hundreds of shoes collected per week, Godika had to find a solution to refurbish them. Approaching local cobblers was her initial fix, but she soon found sponsors in Pressto Cobblers. \u201cI came across the store, and on a whim, decided to meet the manager who was more than happy to help us. They decided to sponsor us,\u201d chirps an ecstatic Sia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Slowly, but surely making little feet matter<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Still in its nascent stage, Sole Warriors faced some hiccups at the beginning of the lockdown in March 2020. Yet, they flung into action after pushing the pause button for a few weeks. \u201cWe continued collecting shoes, sanitising them and (even) quarantining them for a handful of days before sending them for distribution to the needy people,\u201d informs the Diana Legacy Award-winner who also helped create jobs for slum dwellers with her initiative. \u201cThrough this, we allowed slum dwellers to become \u2018sole\u2019 entrepreneurs wherein they could sell a pair of refurbished shoes for Rs 50, and earn an income,\u201d explains the activist.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9440 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.globalindian.com\/youth\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/sw1.jpg\" alt=\"Teen Social Activist | Sia Godika \" width=\"1080\" height=\"810\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1080px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1080\/810;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9440 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globalindian.com\/youth\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/sw1.jpg\" alt=\"Teen Social Activist | Sia Godika \" width=\"1080\" height=\"810\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>Many stepped up to help Sia with the initiative. Though she cannot thank G Nagaraj aka Plog Raj (the founder of Indian Ploggers Army) enough. \u201cFrom helping me get in touch with volunteers, to identify areas where we could distribute shoes, he helped me immensely,\u201d says the Diana Award winner. After her successful stint in Bengaluru, she opened chapters in Chennai and Mumbai. Sia is now ready to spread her wings to West Africa and the US. \u201cIt was during the Diana Award ceremony that I met Abdullah O Bility, a co-winner from Liberia. He got to know about my initiative, and was happy to help me with the distribution in his country,\u201d exclaims Sia, who will soon be sending the first lot of refurbished shoes from the US to Liberia (as sending from India was ridden with snags).<\/p>\n<p>The 15-year-old found support in a family friend in Boston who is busy collecting shoes for Sole Warriors from public schools and communities, and would soon be sending them to Abdullah in Liberia. \u201cI am so happy that the initiative is going international, and more people are joining in,\u201d adds Sia who is hoping to expand to the UK soon.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9441 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.globalindian.com\/youth\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/sw3.jpg\" alt=\"Teen Social Activist | Sia Godika \" width=\"1080\" height=\"810\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1080px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1080\/810;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9441\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globalindian.com\/youth\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/sw3.jpg\" alt=\"Teen Social Activist | Sia Godika \" width=\"1080\" height=\"810\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<h5><strong>When shoestrings make a difference<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Born in 2006 in North Carolina to engineer parents, Godika moved to Bengaluru as a year-old toddler. \u201cMy parents had moved to the US in their youth to study, and worked there for a couple of years.
