The Prize

Moby has been making music since he was 9 years old. He grew up playing classical music but after college became a fixture in the late 80’s New York house and hip-hop scenes. He released his first single, "Go", in 1991 (listed as one of Rolling Stone's best records of all time), and has been making albums ever since. His own records have sold over 20,000,000 copies worldwide, and he’s also produced and remixed for scores of other artists. Moby’s debut album with the Void Pacific Choir, These Systems are Failing, was released in October 2016, and his memoir Porcelain was released in May 2016. This is the second year that Moby has supported the Small Steps Celebrity Shoe Auction.

“They’ve walked everywhere. I bought them in NYC and they went with me on tour and then to L.A when I moved here, so they’ve been to dozens of countries”

The Cause

Small Steps Project is a children’s charity dealing with the most devastating humanitarian consequence of the global waste problem: child waste pickers.

All over the world thousands of children survive by collecting and recycling rubbish on landfill sites. Deprived of an education, they work when they should be at school and put their lives at risk on a daily basis. Work on the dumps is dirty and dangerous. As well as respiratory and skin diseases, cuts and lacerations to their hands and feet are commonplace and risk of infection is extremely high in the toxic environment.

Small Steps Project provides shoes to protect their feet and support to enable them to take small steps off the dump sites, out of poverty and into education.

To date, Small Steps Project has provided shoes and aid to over 20,000 children thanks to the money raised from shoes, all donated and signed by some of the most famous celebrities in the world.
