Jades Brief:

Cheap For Children is a project aiming to create cheap and protective boots for child farmers in the US. Cheap For Children specifically focuses on children's contact with pesticides, which can lead to growth defects and illness such as neurological disorders including autism and ADHD. According to the National Library of Medicine “Recent research suggests that even low levels of pesticide exposure can affect young children’s neurological and behavioral development.” Cheap For Children will provide families with a cheap boot to protect their children from pesticide exposure. 

According to the NLM pesticides can cause harm through ingestion, inhalation, and skin contact. The Cheap For Children boot is a waterproof boot made from foam and Tyvec providing superior pesticide protection by preventing water flow in and out while also preventing moisture buildup with replaceable silica gel packets. Parents can finally provide their children with the safety they deserve without the high cost.
