Taipei, Taiwan — October 2026 — As part of our ongoing commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR), Aromate Industries Co., Ltd. recently donated shoes and bags to Step30 International Ministries, a Taiwan-based nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting underprivileged communities in East Africa.
Through this initiative, Aromate hopes to extend the useful life of everyday essentials while contributing to a mission that promotes health, dignity, and better living conditions for communities in need.
Step30: Changing Lives, One Pair of Shoes at a Time
For many of us, shoes are everyday essentials. Yet, in some rural African communities, access to proper footwear remains a challenge.
Step30's Shoes for Life initiative collects reusable shoes and other essential items in Taiwan to support disadvantaged communities across East Africa.
Beyond providing basic protection, suitable footwear plays an important role in preventing health problems caused by jiggers (sand fleas), tiny parasites that can burrow into the skin and cause painful infections.
Step30's mission extends beyond material donations. Through healthcare education, clean water initiatives, and community development projects, the organization works toward creating healthier living environments and lasting opportunities for vulnerable communities.

Giving Everyday Essentials a Second Life
At Aromate, we believe sustainability is not only about protecting the environment but also about caring for people.
By contributing shoes and bags to Step30, we hope to give these everyday items a renewed purpose while supporting those who need them most.
This initiative reflects a simple yet meaningful idea: what we no longer need may still hold great value for someone else.
Encouraging reuse and extending the life of practical items also aligns with our broader commitment to responsible resource consumption and sustainable living.
