Funny, how you find one thing when you are looking for something totally different.
I was looking for toilet -paper - yes toilet paper.
I could never find a toilet paper I liked until I recently bought a pack of "One supersofty quilted toilet tissue" from my local supermarket and loved it.
Anyway, I was complementing myself on the find when I thought I had better go check the pack for the name of the brand so I could buy some more.
And this is what it said on the pack.
"100% of our profit helps to fund sanitation and hygiene projects in Africa".
Wow! What a brilliant idea I thought ... so I ran downstairs to check out their website.
They have a whole range of products based on a really simple idea.
They create quality products, and every time you buy one, they donate 100% of the profit to projects in developing countries.
As they say on their site: " So it's really easy to understand where your money goes. And it's really easy to make a difference. You don't even need to change your habits, just the products in your shopping basket."
What a great Social Business. Toms Shoes is another great example.
