One of the recipients of the CSI shoes was Positive Vibrations (Arts Foundation of Hope for the Girls), a Non-Governmental Organisation that focuses on development and human rights. Positive Vibrations has distributed the shoes and donated them to them to the a Chief Luthuli Primary School in Benoni, Gauteng Province and Positive Vibrations learners.
