There are many chapters in the enterprise; that is Toms. Probably the first one on one company (shoes being the stock in trade in this novel concept) in history; and quiet recently – recently being the previous year- bifocals being part of the business of Tom. The idea behind this one on one enterprise traces its genesis back to the year 2006. The philosophy of this entity is explained below.
A one on one enterprise basically works on the model that with every purchase that clients make from this brand, a similar product is donated to a needy person in the society. In the case of Toms, the product that was initially donated was shoes. Last year the product portfolio of this enterprise was expanded to include eye wear. It has been in operation for the last six years and the countries where the nation’s poor are given the products are the following: South Africa, Ethiopia, Argentina, and the United States. Apart from ensuring that people have protection on their feet, the other guiding philosophy for dressing the feet of people is to ensure that the foot deformation disease (podoconiosis), a condition that develops as a result of the foot being exposed to silica rich soil-is arrested in its tracks(sic) .
