Give the gift of sight with Kayu sunglasses this season as they offer three new styles now. This is the perfect holiday, birthday or gratitude gift to anyone in your life with divine eco style. Admirably, with every, single pair purchased, you are not only paying for the tangible gift of stylish shades but also paying for a sight-restoring surgery in the developing world.

KAYU is setting an example for fashionable eyewear lines worldwide. Unite for Sight is a non-profit organization truly dedicated to eliminating preventable blindness.

Today is Blog Action Day, and this year the focus is on poverty. Here are some ways you can help people in need, as you shop for your own needs:

TOMS Shoes for Tomorrow, Giving Gifts to the Poor as You Shop: Starting from May 2006, TOMS Shoes for Tomorrow has given well over 10,000 pairs of shoes to children in Argentina and 50,000 pairs in South Africa through the purchases of caring customers. They’ve recently been nominated for the Cooper Hewitt People’s Design Award and they Need Your Vote! In 2008 TOMS plans to give 200, 000 pairs of shoes to children around the world.

Together we can make a difference and give the gift of sight:

problems, so - for every pair of KAYU glasses purchased, we donate enough funds for one sight-restoring surgery in the developing world. One pair of sunglasses = One sight-restoring surgery.“
