Gives Back
Since TOMS was founded back in 2006, over 10 million pairs of shoes have been given 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.
TOMS partner with carefully selected non-profit organisations who are already there on the ground working in holistic way to improve lives in any given area, so that the money from the products you buy can be put to best use. The shoes that they give away are tailored to the needs of the children that they give them to, based on the local terrain and seasons.
