A different type of shopping

If you are going to shop (like we all do), why not shop and benefit a cause/someone?

Shop (RED) products!

(RED) was created by U2 lead singer Bono and Bobby Shriver, with the objective of engaging the private sector in raising awareness and funds to help eliminate AIDS in Africa.

AIDS is the leading cause of death in sub-Saharan Africa, with approximately 3,600 people dying every day. It costs around 40 cents a day for the 2 antiretroviral pills needed to help keep someone living with HIV alive and healthy. Yet more than 70% of people in sub-Saharan Africa live on less than $2 a day.

Shop at TOMS !

One for One movement

TOMS Shoes was founded on a simple premise: With every pair you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need. One for One. Using the purchasing power of individuals to benefit the greater good is what we're all about. The TOMS mission transforms our customers into benefactors, which allows us to grow a truly sustainable business rather than depending on fundraising for support.
