Toms Shoes: One for One

My oldest daughter loves Toms shoes and is very passionate about the company's sole purpose. She walked in with a new pair of Toms on yesterday and it inspired me to write a blog post on who Toms shoes is and the wonderful things they are doing for the world.

Toms slogan is One for One. When you purchase a Toms product, you help "provide shoes, water, safe birth and bullying prevention to people in need." Toms has given 60 million pairs of shoes to children in need.

When you purchase a pair of shoes, a pair of shoes goes to a child in need. When you purchase Toms eyewear, you help "restore sight to an individual through sight-saving surgery, prescription glasses or medical treatment."

"More than 780 million people don't have access to safe water. TOMS Roasting Co. purchases support water systems in seven countries- in the same regions where we source our coffee beans."

Purchasing a Toms bag provides the training needed for a successful child birth and provides "materials needed to help a woman safely give birth."

Purchasing items from the Toms High Road Backpack Collection will provide "training of school staff and crisis counselors to help prevent and respond to instances of bullying."

Not only has Toms helped different people in over 70 different countries around the world, but has also created over 700 jobs, has produced over 10 million pairs of shoes in 5 different countries and has employed an equal male to female ratio of workers. Toms has also been able to invest $2 million dollars into fighting Podoconiosis, "a debilitating disease that causes painful swelling of the feet and legs due to irritants found in certain countries' soils."
