A Day Without Dignity...
Loading...
Uploaded by timegiventous on Apr 6, 2011
Every year millions of shoes and clothing are donated to various developing countries. This practice is expensive and competes with local business.
TOMS declared 5 April a Day Without Shoes, to raise awareness to the plight of those without shoes. We propose the counter campaign, a Day Without Dignity.
Aid should start by asking communities what their needs are, rather than what will help American corporations sell an image of being socially conscious.

How do those people in developing countries get shoes - or clothes - or whatever - if they can't afford to buy them from the many in-country vendors? Who provides them to those people? Perhaps the distribution channel is the key. Perhaps ultimate receiver of the goods are not the right one(s)? Still learning.

@phantomoutlaw and nosilwhtes09, look at the information provided above by clicking 'show more' to see where the stats come from.

@unbearablegoodness I doubt it. But it would be much better than what they currently do - and cheaper, quite frankly.

Great video. Do you think Toms would consider sourcing locally? Would that solve their particular problem? (Obviously there are much bigger issues with the model...)

@phantomoutlaw1 I wonder the same thing.
