As Ecosandals.com is an organization of volunteers, there are numerous individuals who have donated an extraordinary amount of time for the sole benefit of the Korogocho community. The current officers of the Ecosandals board are:

Matthew Meyer
Matthew currently serves as a member of the Ecosandals board of directors. Matthew is an attorney with the law firm of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett in New York. Along with Benson Wikyo, Matthew co-founded Ecosandals in 1995, using a grant generously provided by the Samuel Huntington Fund. A 2003 Jefferson Award Winner, along with Condoleezza Rice and two others, for the Greatest Public Service by and Individual 35 Years or Under, Matthew continues to volunteer with Ecosandals because he believes that it is the right of every human being on earth to have the opportunity to work hard for decent health, education, clothing, and shelter. He also volunteers because it is fun. Prior to working at Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, Matthew was a Skadden Fellow, providing free legal assistance to low-income residents in Delaware, and spent three years as an elementary school teacher in the District of Columbia Public Schools, initially through Teach For America. Matthew was a computer programmer prior to teaching. Matthew serves on numerous boards of organizations which address needs varying from cancer research to assisting immigrants, and he provides free legal assistance to victims of torture seeking asylum. Matthew has a bachelor's degree from Brown University and a law degree from the University of Michigan, where he was on the editorial board of the law review. Fluent in Swahili, Matthew resides in New York City, and he stays mentally healthy by visiting Korogocho every year, engaging the sandal-makers in computer lessons and by trying to ride his bicycle every single day.

Janai Orina
Janai currently serves as a member of the Ecosandals board of directors. A former student leader at Moi University in Eldoret, Kenya, Janai has worked with and for many of the world's leading human rights organizations, including Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Release Political Prisoners, and the Kenya Human Rights Commission. Before fleeing Kenya, the Kenyan government of President Moi expelled him from university for speaking freely to his peers on issues of justice and oppression. An activist who traveled to distant corners of his country leading grassroots constitutional education seminars, Janai strongly believes in enabling all people both politically and economically. He has always served Ecosandals voluntarily, for nearly a decade now, in both formal and informal capacities. Janai believes the Ecosandals grassroots product export model is an ideal vehicle for communities with a vision of self-reliance and sustainable social change. An American University graduate, Janai currently works for the international law firm of Jones Day in Washington, DC. He is an avid runner and hockey player who is proud of the fact he could go out today and buy a Hummer but instead chooses to use the Washington, DC Metro as his personal car service.
