MU alumna Hayley Besheer had already made her mark on the world with her company, Make a difference Intimate Apparel. The start-up company, founded by Besheer in 2011, donates underwear to women in third-world countries, women’s shelters and victims of natural disasters. “I talked with a friend and thought the idea of TOMS shoes was a cool idea — the buying a pair and giving one away — and thought it was an awesome way to give back, ” Besheer said.toms schoenen online shop
When you buy a pair, you are donating a pair to someone in need, which contributes to the expense. The underwear is made of a high quality material that is organically sustainable and environmentally stable. In developing countries such as Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia where sexual violence is common, the MADI website says owning a pair can “create a social barrier for women-symbolizing a sense of wealth, independence, and power, protect women from sexual violence, provide strength and confidence, and many young women in developing countries aren’t allowed to attend school during their menstrual cycles, missing 4 or 5 days of school every month of the year. ”toms shoes nederland
MADI plans to donate to shelters all over the world, including Columbia, Daytona Beach, Florida and Kansas City. MADI also plans to donate to Love-N-Care Ministries International, which works primarily in India with orphan shelters. “Underwear is generally one of the least donated items; most people don’t think about underwear, ” Hanzlick said. “We are very grateful from the people at MADI for undertaking this creative, much needed approach to helping victims of domestic violence and providing those in need their basic dignity at shelters. ”toms shoes sale womens
MADI hopes to partner with large organizations in the future, and has already started with the Salvation Army Harbor House in Columbia. They also hope to enter into retail stores and grow their team. “The more we grow, the more people we can reach and the more countries we can donate to, ” Hayley Besheer said. “We’re excited to spread awareness for the need for underwear for women, spread confidence to women and make this a bigger deal. ”.toms glitters sale
