Roma Provisions is a hybrid company that combines business with charity. We design and sell rain boots primarily in the United States while our nonprofit subsidiary --- Roma for All --- distributes boots to children living in poverty. Our mission is to keep feet warm and dry by providing a comfortable, durable and practical pair of Roma Boots to every needy child living in cold and wet climates. These are mostly street children and orphans, primarily of Roma ethnicity. Providing proper footwear is the first step to helping this underserved population of children. Our broader plan is to empower these children to break out of the cycle of poverty by getting them back into the education system where they can learn to take care of themselves. Our efforts are made possible by the generous support of many volunteers:
