Working With Communities
We are proud to say that 5% of sales for Voolay shoes are donated to local areas where our shoes are produced. It has been our mission to repay the local families and communities we work with so that we give back and provide them with the proper amenities. We understand without our partnerships we would not be the thriving successful business we are today. Because Brazil is where most Voolay resources are produced it was only right that most of our charitable work is with Brazillian Charities for education or environmental reasons. Such charities include:
WeForest
In partnership with WeForest, we have donated over $100,000 to help conserve the Amazonian Rainforest. Donations were used to buy equipment for landscaping development and habit restoration. Being that the rainforest is threatened every year, we will be looking to continue our partnership for the foreseeable future, as we look to help do our part. Please be sure to check out the WeForest link: WeForest
A conversation nonprofit that aims to ensure the ecological health of the forests and landscapes throughout the world, with projects in Brazil that include efforts to restore the Atlantic forest. Also has similar projects in important biodiversity spots across the globe.”

Community in Action
The opportunity came to work with Community Action to provide donation assistance for child care. We were quite pleased in joining this partnership, as millions of children suffer yearly due to poverty rates. Because of this Voolay has donated over $150,000, and held educational events and fairs for the local citizens of Brazil. If you’d like to help and contribute, please check the Community in Action link: Community in Action
Providing community events and education, such as sporting events, assistance with childcare, as well as vocational training to help raise people out of the most abject poverty.”

The Brazil Foundation
After the events of Covid-19, Brazil saw its economy devastated and its people left in poverty. Though voolay was working with other charities in Brazil, we felt it was time to help increase our efforts. So, in 2020 Voolay partnered with The Brazil Foundation and hold 2 yearly events for the purpose of helping provide financial assistance to the less fortunate.

A major donation driver in the area, working with NGOs that ensure social and economic assistance, seeing the links between socio-economic development and health as a crucial step to the future of the country.”
