Gives Back
Since it was founded back in 2006, TOMS has given over 10 million pairs of shoes to children in need in over 60 different countries, as well as helping a reported 325,000 people’s sight and performing around 175,000 cataract surgeries with money earned through their eyewear line. They have also developed a 100% sustainable coffee line that gives clean drinking water to the communities that produce the coffee, and enable safer births for mothers and babies in developing countries by partnering with Every Mother Counts through sales of their bags and other products.
Every TOMS eyewear purchase helps fund the restoring of sight in deprived areas around the world through the giving of prescription glasses, medical treatment and sight-saving surgeries, as well as investing in the clinics, hospitals, and people who work at them. TOMS currently work with 15 Giving Partners including Seva, Childsight, and Visualiza as well as many other locally-based eyecare organisations restoring sight in 13 different countries.
