Week 3 EOC: Making Money For Good

Being able to give back to those that are less fortunate than you are is always a great feeling, but when you can involve people from all the around the world to get behind you and back up what you are trying to do it can become a movement. A couple companies so far that have been able to do that are called TOMS and Susan G. Komen. A company that I ran across is called Warby Parker. They are a buy one give one company also known as a social good company. It is the kind of company whose entire background is built around charity and giving back to those less fortunate who are in dire need. This company’s product is glasses, not just any glasses but stylish and affordable glasses. With most eyewear companies they like to charge an arm and a leg or at least it feels as though you have to sell your body parts just to cover the cost because the prices are so high. And get this when you buy a pair of glasses they will then give a pair of glasses, a free eye exam or corrective surgery to someone in another country who doesn’t have the proper health care to cover these items, “Almost one billion people worldwide lack access to glasses. This means that 15% of the global population cannot effectively learn or work”  http://www.warbyparker.com/our-story/ . I definitely see this company doing a lot of great things to help people. For myself I wear corrective contact lenses and glasses and if I had not the proper health care to provide me with these essential items to be able to drive, go to work, and go to school I don’t know where I’d be.
