Our Charities

Our 1% Promise

At SANS MATIN we feel it is important to give back. That is why we donate 1% of all sales to charity. We partner with charities we feel resonate with us and align with our key values and brand ethos.

Over the last 25 years, ACT has expanded and created over 1.9 million acres of indigenous reserves.

Children Change Colombia (CCC)

CCC are the largest UK charity working exclusively in Colombia, working with children and their families to challenge poverty, inequality, discrimination and violence. We chose CCC after having spoken to many of our shoemakers in Medellin about the issues facing Colombia, particularly relating to the young population. Being a family business, this particularily resonated with us and our key values.

The UN's Urgent Appeal for COVID-19

For 8 weeks, from mid-March to mid-May 2021, we donated 5% of all online sales to the UN's appeal. The primary goal of the appeal is to ensure that refugees are included in the national COVID-19 surveillance, preparedness and response activities. UNHCR’s preparedness measures protect refugees, displaced people and their host communities before, during and after the global health emergency. If you are interested to learn more about the appeal, or would like to donate directly to this amazing cause please click 'Learn More' below.
