We currently give to communities in more than 20 countries worldwide, and we are expanding – thanks to our
awesome customers!

Giving shoes isn’t instantaneous.
Once a shoe is purchased, it takes about four to six months for our Giving Partners to order shoes and to hand-place them on children’s feet.

The Other Side of One for One™. A Giving Pair is the pair of shoes your purchase enables TOMS to give to a child in need. And giving responsibly is what TOMS is all about. We work with our Giving Partners to determine the sizes and quantities needed for the children they serve.

The shoe that we give most frequently is a black, unisex canvas slip-on with a sturdy sole. Black shoes are required for school in many countries, and the sturdy sole allows children to run and play with their feet protected. We’ve found that the classic TOMS slip-on style works well, because when shoelaces break, many families cannot afford to replace them.

In Argentina, we give shoes similar to our colorful Classics, as this is the common style there.

Shoes are a fundamental resource for protecting children’s health
and providing them with opportunity.

• GROWING UP BAREFOOT
  In many developing countries, children must walk barefoot for miles to school, clean water and medical help.
• INJURY AND DISEASE
  Hundreds of millions of children are at risk of injury, infection and soil-transmitted diseases that most don’t have access to prevent or treat.
• EDUCATION AND OPPORTUNITY
  Children who are healthy are more likely to be successful students, and access to education is a critical determinant of long-term success.
• A BETTER TOMORROW
  Healthy, educated children have a better chance of improving the future of their entire community.

“Shoes simply mean everything to a Zambian child. I am called a doctor today because of the shoes my father bought, which motivated me to keep going to school and to work hard. Shoes were and are still a luxury in this country…”
– Dr. Fwasa Singogo, Zambia

Give Sustainably. Give Responsibly.
At TOMS, we are committed to creating the biggest impact possible with the shoes we give – improving children’s health and access to education – for the long-term.

Giving Partners:
We couldn’t do it without them! We work to establish shoe-giving partnerships with humanitarian organizations worldwide that have deep experience and a long-term presence in the countries and communities they serve.

• Identify Communities That Need Shoes
  Together, we find communities that will benefit most from TOMS shoes due to economic, health and educational needs, and where local businesses will not be negatively affected.
• Give Shoes That Fit
  Our Giving Partners order the sizes children in their community need. We make the shoes to order to ensure children are given new shoes that fit them. Learn more about the Giving Pair here.
• Help Our Shoes Have a Bigger Impact
  Children who are given TOMS shoes receive them as part of larger health and education programs run by our Giving Partners. These programs help children get the care and opportunity they need to keep them healthy and in school.
• Give Children Shoes As They Grow
  Children grow fast! TOMS works to give shoes to children in need throughout their childhood. Once we identify a community that needs shoes, we continue to give to the children in that community to help them stay healthy and in school.
• Provide Feedback and Help Us Improve
  We rely on our incredible Giving Partners to provide feedback on shoes’ fit and durability, the giving process and the needs of the community – allowing us to continually improve.

One for One

With every pair purchased, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need. One for One.
And thanks to our amazing customers, as of September 2010, TOMS has given over one million pairs of new shoes to children in need around the world.
Check out the One for One model in action.

Blake Mycoskie's Bio

Blake Mycoskie is the Founder and Chief Shoe Giver of TOMS, and the man behind the growing One for One movement. As of April 2010, TOMS has given over 600,000 pairs of new shoes to children in need through giving partners around the world.

It didn’t take long for the world to notice this new approach to business – in 2007, only a year after its beginning, TOMS was honored with the prestigious People’s Design Award from the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, Smithsonian Institution. And two years after that, TOMS and Blake Mycoskie were the proud recipients of the Secretary of State’s 2009 Award for Corporate Excellence (ACE) presented by Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton. The award celebrates companies’ commitment to corporate social responsibility, innovation, exemplary practices, and democratic values worldwide.

While running TOMS, Blake is a sought-after speaker at campuses and conferences all over the country. He is passionate about inspiring young people to help make tomorrow better, encouraging them to include giving in everything they do, from business practices to day-to-day decisions. His hope is to see a future full of socially minded businesses, and consumers. This unique vision for the future came into focus in 2006, when he witnessed the hardships facing children growing up barefoot in Argentina. He felt a need to help, and the One for One movement was born. He returned the following year with friends and family to hand-place 10,000 pairs of new shoes on children.

Blake has always had an entrepreneurial spirit, starting five businesses before TOMS. His first was a successful national campus laundry service, which he later sold. Between business ventures, Blake competed in the CBS primetime series, The Amazing Race. With his sister, Paige, Blake traveled the world and came within minutes of winning the $1 million dollar grand prize. Blake is an avid reader and traveler. He was born in 1976 and lives on a sailboat in Los Angeles. A favorite quote of his by Gandhi: “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”

The TOMS Story

TOMS was founded in 2006 by Blake Mycoskie, inspired by a trip to Argentina where he saw extreme poverty and health conditions, as well as children walking without shoes. That’s when he recognized the traditional Argentine alpargata shoe as a simple, yet revolutionary solution. He quickly set out to reinvent the alpargata for the U.S. market with a simple goal: to show how together, we can create a better tomorrow by taking compassionate action today.

To realize this mission, Blake made a commitment to match every pair of TOMS purchased with a new pair given to a child in need. One for One. “I was so overwhelmed by the spirit of the South American people, especially those who had so little,” Mycoskie said. “And I was instantly struck with the desire — the responsibility — to do more.”

Giving

During its first year in business, TOMS sold 10,000 pairs of shoes. Blake returned to Argentina later that year with family and friends and gave back to the children who had first inspired him. Thanks to supporters, TOMS gave the One Millionth pair of new shoes to a child in need in September 2010. TOMS now gives in over 20 countries and works with charitable partners in the field who incorporate shoes into their health, education, hygiene, and community development programs.

 

TOMS’ giving partners are made up of NGOs, charities, and non-profits already established and working in the countries in which TOMS gives. Their expertise guides TOMS to give new shoes responsibly, making sure there aren’t adverse socioeconomic effects, and to ensure that sustainable giving is possible. Giving shoes to the same children on a regular basis is the idea upon which TOMS was started, and is what truly improves the lives of children and their communities.

The TOMS Movement

The TOMS movement was started by young people, and they continue to be a huge driving force. With Campus Clubs and internships, compassionate young people are getting involved with TOMS like with no other brand. To keep their thumb on the pulse of the movement, many TOMS supporters stay connected with the active TOMS Community on Facebook and Twitter.

Enthusiastic college students were also responsible for getting the first One Day Without Shoes off the ground in 2008. One Day Without Shoes is the day in April when TOMS asks people to go without shoes to raise awareness of children growing up barefoot and the impact a pair of shoes can have on a child’s life. It’s grown far beyond college campuses, and in only its third year, people of all ages got involved — in 2010, over a quarter of a million people went barefoot and over 1600 barefoot events took place globally.

Shoes and More

In addition to the alpargata-inspired Classics, TOMS offers several other styles. Cordones, the TOMS you can wear with or without laces, as well as the Botas, are designed for both men and women. Stitchouts for men, the Wedge and the Wrap Boot for women, and Youth and Tiny TOMS for children are also available, as well as many vegan-friendly styles for all ages that use no animal byproducts. TOMS.com also carries t-shirts, hats, and other items that are also matched with a pair of new shoes given to a child in need. One for One.

Awards and Recognition It didn’t take long for the world to notice this new approach to business — In 2007, TOMS was honored with the prestigious People’s Design Award from the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, Smithsonian Institution. Two years later, Blake and TOMS received the 2009 ACE award by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, which recognizes companies’ commitment to corporate social responsibility, innovation, exemplary practices, and democratic values worldwide.

100 Ways to Show Love to Your Wife

“A husband considers romance to be one way and the wife considers it to be another. The wife provides many romantic gestures which go unnoticed by her husband, because it wasn’t romantic to him. The husband can spend precious time doing what he thinks will bless and romance his wife only to discover she didn’t appreciate it at all.
“What is wrong? Are the gestures extended not romantic or thoughtful? No. Are the recipients ungrateful and self-absorbed? No. The spouse is simply not romancing their spouse in a way that is romantic to them!
“This is a great truth that once practiced is sure to produce lasting fruit. Study your spouse. Find out what romance means to them? It may surprise you! But if you do your homework you will become the master of what really turns your spouse on!” (Tom and Debi, from Theromanticvineyard.com article, “10 Hindrances to Cultivating a Romantic Vineyard”)

Discuss this list with your wife. Ask her to check the ones meaningful to her, and then have her tell you the order she considers most important. Use this list to learn what speaks “love” to her. It’s likely very different from what speaks “love” to you. Your relationship can be strengthened by using this as a guideline —but keep in mind that these are only suggestions, and not all of them have to be used.

(There’s a list under the “Romantic Ideas” topic which gives wives 100 ideas, as well.)

1. Start and/or end each day by holding hands and praying together with your wife.

HORMON PENGARUHI EMOSI WANITA

JANGAN mudah melenting atau cepat melatah andai wanita yang anda kenali sebagai seorang yang sabar atau periang boleh berubah emosinya secara tiba-tiba. Perubahan ini mungkin menyebabkan mereka menjadi seorang yang begitu sensitif, mudah marah, cepat tersinggung atau sebagainya.Tidak kira siapa pun wanita terbabit sama ada ibu, kakak, adik, isteri, teman wanita, bahkan yang bergelar nenek sekalipun boleh mengalami perubahan emosi seumpama ini.Hakikatnya ialah bukan mudah menjadi seorang wanita. Namun, inilah yang harus dilalui oleh wanita dalam meniti setiap fasa kehidupan mereka.

Bermula dari peringkat bayi, kanak-kanak, remaja, dewasa hinggalah mencecah ke usia emas, terlalu banyak perubahan fisiologi dan biologi yang harus dilalui oleh seseorang wanita.Andai kurang persediaan dan pengetahuan mengenai setiap fasa perubahan ini, banyak masalah boleh timbul.Masalah bukan saja dihadapi oleh wanita terbabit, malah kepada orang yang rapat dengan mereka.

Pakar perunding obstetrik dan ginekologi di sebuah hospital swasta di Kuantan, Dr. Suraya Arshad berkata, perubahan ini biasanya tidak
disedari oleh ramai wanita.Sebaliknya, ia lebih banyak dikesan oleh mereka yang hampir dengan wanita terutama pasangan mereka.
Menurut beliau, salah satu aspek yang mungkin tidak difahami oleh sebahagian besar wanita, mahupun mereka yang berada di sekelilingnya, ialah emosi seseorang wanita.

Ini kerana emosi dan perasaan seseorang wanita banyak dipengaruhi
oleh hormon yang terdapat dalam tubuhnya.

Bagaimanapun, para penyelidik masih dalam kajian mencari punca
mengapa wanita begitu mudah terdedah pada perubahan emosi,'' katanya.

Beliau tidak menafikan kurangnya pemahaman berhubung perubahan emosi wanita boleh menjadi salah satu faktor yang menyumbang kepada penceraian.Dr. Suraya memberitahu, emosi wanita banyak dipengaruhi oleh hormon-hormon tubuh mereka.Dua hormon utama yang terdapat dalam tubuh wanita ialah hormon estrogen dan progesteron.

Kedua-dua hormon ini mempunyai kuasa dan pengaruh yang cukup besar
dalam setiap fasa kehidupan seseorang wanita.

Sekiranya berlaku ketidakseimbangan pada hormon-hormon ini, maka ia
boleh menyebabkan perubahan terutama kepada mood wanita terbabit,''
katanya.

Hormon ini dihasilkan oleh kelenjar ovari. Penghasilannya dipengaruhi oleh sebahagian hormon yang dirembeskan oleh kelenjar pituitari dalam otak.Peranan kedua-dua hormon ini bukan sekadar hanya mengatur pusingan haid seperti perubahan pada dinding rahim dan pengeluaran darah haid.Pada masa yang sama hormon-hormon ini mempunyai kesan pada tisu-tisu tubuh. Ini termasuklah buah dada, tulang, pembuluh darah, jantung, saluran usus, pundi kencing dan kulit.Dr. Suraya menjelaskan, ketidakseimbangan hormon-hormon estrogen dan progesteron boleh menyebabkan perubahan kepada wanita terbabit.

Ini termasuklah perubahan tingkah laku atau emosi yang menyebabkan
mereka menjadi seorang yang mudah sensitif, tertekan, mudah marah atau
mengalami kemurungan,'' ujarnya.

Bagaimanapun, katanya, bukan semua wanita mesti melalui perubahan emosi.Pusingan haid, kehamilan, keadaan selepas bersalin, ketidaksuburan dan menopaus boleh mengakibatkan perubahan mood yang menyebabkan seseorang wanita seolah-olah mengalami kemurungan.Malah, para penyelidik turut mengesahkan bahawa hormon boleh mempengaruhi pengeluaran endorfin yang berfungsi mengawal emosi dan mood.

Tambah beliau, tiga fasa kehidupan yang menyebabkan wanita boleh
mengalami perubahan ketara ialah:

- Fasa sebelum pusingan haid

- Fasa selepas melahirkan anak

- Fasa selepas menopaus (putus haid)


A. Fasa sebelum pusingan haid (Pre-menstrual syndrome - PMS)

Di seluruh dunia, berjuta-juta wanita menganggap apa yang berlaku setiap bulan umpama satu pusingan jam biologi.Keletihan, mudah tersinggung, perut kembung, masalah jerawat dan sebagainya sering kali dikaitkan dengan pusingan haid.Sehingga hari ini belum ada satu teori yang berjaya membuktikan mengapa wanita mengalami perubahan mood atau emosi setiap kali mereka hampir dengan fasa pusingan haid mereka.Bagaimanapun, ia dikaitkan dengan perubahan hormon yang menimbulkan tindak balas abnormal.Gejala PMS biasanya terjadi seminggu sebelum seseorang wanita mengalami pusingan haid.Ia akan hilang beberapa hari selepas haid berlaku. Gejala-gejala ini hanya sementara waktu dan tidak begitu mengganggu rutin harian seseorang wanita.Ia merangkumi gangguan pada psikologi, perut, kulit, kandungan cecair pada badan dan lain-lain.Ini termasuklah perubahan dari segi selera makan, kemaruk makan,
jerawat, mood terganggu, gangguan tidur dan emosi terlalu sensitif.


B. Fasa selepas melahirkan anak

Fasa ini yang juga dikenali dalam istilah perubatan sebagai post partum depression (PPD) merupakan satu keadaan di mana wanita mengalami kemurungan selepas melahirkan anak.Penurunan hormon estrogen yang mendadak selepas bersalin dikatakan faktor yang menyumbang kepada masalah seumpama ini.Ketidakseimbangan hormon boleh berlaku kepada semua wanita, namun mereka yang tidak menanganinya dengan baik boleh mendapat psikosis.

PPD boleh terbahagi kepada tiga kategori:


- PPD baby blues. Seseorang wanita boleh termasuk dalam kategori ini
sekiranya mereka mengalami perubahan emosi atau mood dalam tempoh dua minggu selepas melahirkan anak.Bagaimanapun, bukan semua wanita yang melahirkan anak melalui fasa seperti ini. Wanita di Barat dikatakan lebih ramai mengalami fasa ini berbanding wanita Asia dengan anggaran sebanyak 80 peratus.

Biasanya wanita terbabit akan mengalami gejala seperti:

a. kesedihan

b. menangis lebih daripada biasa

c. lebih sensitif

d. mudah tersinggung

e. rasa berdebar-debar


Wanita yang mempunyai masalah dalam rumah tangga dan mengalami banyak komplikasi semasa hamil lebih terdedah kepada risiko ini.Risiko ini meningkat sekiranya mereka pernah mempunyai sejarah PPD. Gejala yang dialami ini biasanya akan hilang selepas sepuluh hari.


- PPD kemurungan. Wanita yang dikategorikan dalam kumpulan ini
mengalami gejala-gejala seperti:

a. Perasaan putus asa

b. Tidak boleh memberi tumpuan

c. Gangguan ingatan

d. Perasaan bersalah

e. Rutin harian seperti makan terganggu


Masalah ini kebiasaan dialami dalam tempoh sebulan selepas bersalin dan terus berlaku dalam tempoh beberapa bulan.Mereka yang menghadapi masalah ini perlu diberi bantuan. Mereka memerlukan rawatan kaunseling, terapi psikiatri dan sokongan emosi ahli
keluarga.


- PPD psikosis. Di kalangan masyarakat Melayu, PPD psikosis dikenali
sebagai penyakit gila meroyan.

Individu terbabit mengalami gejala seperti pesakit mental.

Antara gejala-gejala yang dialami ialah:

a. Mendengar suara-suara halus

b. Tingkah laku yang pelik seperti gelak atau

bercakap seorang diri

c. Kekeliruan yang ketara

d. Sentiasa dalam keadaan ketakutan

e. Memiliki tenaga fizikal yang begitu kuat

f. Mengalami kesukaran untuk tidur

g. Keinginan untuk membunuh diri


Seperti juga PPD kemurungan, individu yang mengalami penyakit gila meroyan perlu menerima bantuan dan rawatan.


C. Fasa menopaus (putus haid)

Menopaus merupakan satu perubahan biologi yang normal apabila ovari wanita tidak lagi menghasilkan dua hormon wanita, estrogen dan progesteron.Perlu difahami bahawa menopaus bukan sejenis penyakit. Ia adalah satu titik perubahan yang harus diterima secara positif oleh seseorang wanita, baik dari segi emosi mahupun fizikal.Bagaimanapun, menopaus boleh menjadi salah satu punca utama kemurungan.Menopaus boleh berlaku apabila seseorang wanita mencapai usia dalam lingkungan umur pertengahan 40-an hingga lewat 50-an.Menopaus menyebabkan wanita mengalami perubahan hormon. Penghasilan hormon estrogen mula berkurangan dalam tempoh beberapa tahun sebelum menopaus.

Perubahan pada penghasilan hormon ini boleh menyebabkan seseorang wanita mengalami perubahan emosi seperti:

- kemurungan (bergantung kepada tahap keterukan)

- cepat marah

- mudah tersinggung

- sukar tidur

- rasa panas

- pelupa

- Sesetengahnya mengadu sentiasa rasa sedih atau sakit-sakit badan

- fikiran bercelaru


Bagi menangani masalah ini, wanita boleh mendapat rawatan terapi gantian hormon (HRT).

Menopaus mungkin dianggap oleh sebahagian besar wanita sebagai fasa yang terpaksa dihadapi apabila mereka melangkah usia tua, tetapi ia juga mempunyai banyak kebaikan.Mereka kini bebas daripada belenggu pusingan haid pada setiap bulan. Wanita harus menerima menopaus sebagai satu titik permulaan kehidupan baru dalam hidup mereka
