One for One

If you've ever wondered where that other pair of TOMS Shoes went after the promise that an additional pair would be donated, Copan, Honduras, is one of many places around the world where the shoes are being distributed. After TOMS founder Blake Mycoskie traveled to Argentina and noticed many children didn't have shoes, he decided to start a company that would donate a pair of shoes to a child in need for every pair purchased under the motto "One For One."

The Mayatan Bilingual school located in Copan received their donation after a nonprofit in Honduras called Caminando con Amor, which translates to Walking with Love, teamed up with TOMS to bring children at the Mayatan, as well as orphanages and surrounding villages, shoes. Children from the orphanages and villages often received their first pair of shoes ever when they got their TOMS Shoes. Originally, TOMS planned on only giving shoes to the Mayatan students who were on scholarship, but decided not to single any children out and gave shoes to every student who wanted a pair.
