Our Mission: Breaking the Orphan Cycle Through the Dignity of Work

At SoccerHeroStore, we believe meaningful work can change the trajectory of a life — and a generation. Our sister organization in Haiti, LIFE S.A. (LIFE), serves as our apparel maker and is committed to meeting the Fair Labor Association (FLA) Code of Conduct. But our vision reaches further: we aim to transform the entire SoccerHeroStore enterprise — including LIFE — into a force for lasting good for workers, children, and their communities.

Our Objectives

Lead the market in wages in Haiti for essential apparel manufacturing — recognizing workers’ value and rewarding their contribution with industry-leading pay.

Set the standard for transparency, welcoming customers, partners, and visitors to see how we work — the processes, safeguards, and values behind every garment.

Give generously, dedicating profits to support orphaned and vulnerable children — because business should uplift those most in need.
