Do you ever look around at all you have and realize how fortunate you are? If you have never had to worry whether or not you will be able to have food, clean water, soap or even school supplies, than you are much more fortunate than many other people on this planet.

This realization can often leave one feeling pretty remorseful for being so privileged while others have so little; thus, this realization can also lead to the desire to give to those less fortunate. If you are one of those that wishes to give back but is unsure of how to do so, fear not: there are a wide variety of companies that will give to those less fortunate on behalf of you when you purchase items. The most well known example of this TOMS, with their famous One for One promise; however, there are so many more companies with very similar missions that are lesser known, including the following:

1. Sudara

Sudara's mission is to give women training and jobs, as well as housing and education for both the women and their children; according to Sudara, “both are essential to creating a pathway for women to escape from sexual slavery and live in freedom." Products sold by Sudara include tops, shorts, robes, temporary tattoos and “PUNJAMMIES" (lounge pants). Their website can be found here.

2. Vibes

With earplugs that lower the decibel levels of your environment, Vibes offers three models of earplugs: open ear, foam earplugs, and custom earplugs. Vibes has also partnered with Hear The World Foundation, so each purchase helps to “fund projects that provide hearing aids, funding or educating to those in need around the world." Their website can be found here.

3. Alex and Ani

With the Charity by Design collection, a portion of each purchase provides funding for different organizations; the organization that the donation is made to depends on the accessory that you purchase. Organizations that receive benefit include the American Cancer Society, Big Brothers Big Sisters Of America, The National Network To End Domestic Violence and UNICEF (among many others). The collection can be found here.

4. Ivory Ella

This company sells clothing of all types (shirts, shorts, pants, hats and outerwear), as well as jewelry, drink ware, bags and pins – all featuring an animated elephant. This is because 10% of the net profits of Ivory Ella are donated to Save the Elephants, an organization operating out of Samburu, Kenya; Save the Elephants works to reverse the declining elephant population and fight elephant poaching. Their website can be found here.

5. WakaWaka

With the slogan “share the sun," WakaWaka sells solar-powered LED flashlights and portable chargers, as well as waterproof pouches. With every purchase, WakaWaka gives a second flashlight or charger “to send to someone living through a humanitarian crisis." Those benefited include survivors of natural disasters in Haiti, Nepal and the Philippines, as well as “families displaced by war and strife." Their website can be found here.

6. Hand in Hand

Selling bars of soaps, candles, lip balms, liquid hand soap, lotion and other bathing products, Hand in Hand is another company with a one for one purchase model. According to Hand in Hand, “for every product purchased, Hand in Hand donates one bar of soap and one month of clean water to a child in need [in the developing world]." Their website can be found here.

7. Yoobi

Another business with a one for one model, Yoobi sells school and offices supplies, including games, notebooks, pens, pencils and supplies organizers. The word Yoobi means “one for you, one for me;" thus, with every Yoobi item purchased, a second one will be donated to a U.S. classroom in need. Their website can be found here.

8. Project 7

Project 7 makes organic gummy bears, gum and snack clusters; sugar-free alternatives are also available. This company uses profits to give back to seven areas of need by taking action: helping to plant trees, providing emergency relief as a result of natural disaster, providing meals in U.S. communities, giving clean drinking water to those in need, delivering malaria treatments to those in need, providing daily school education in developing nations and putting students through anti-bullying programs. Their website can be found here.

9. Love Your Melon

This company offers a variety of headwear, as well as jewelry, bags, phone cases, cups, shirts and pants. With its profits, Love Your Melon donates to the field of pediatric oncology to “fund cancer research and provide immediate support for families of children battling cancer."
