Giving Back
Lao Tzu, the founder of Taoism said, “Give a Man a Fish, Feed Him For a Day. Teach a Man to Fish, Feed Him For a Lifetime.”
Tulong was created in order to help the world to fish. We support sustainable development through livelihood training, by creating employment opportunities, and by improving underdeveloped community infrastructure. Giving back is one of the most important parts of our journey!
Worldwide, an astounding 2.6 billion people are living on less than $2 a day. Many times, the working poor or those in need are underprivileged due to lack of education, lack of job opportunities, lack of infrastructure, lack of capital, and depressed economies in their country.
Creating Change
Tulong will use a significant portion of our profits, generated from the sale of our Repair The World® apparel , to support sustainable, long term initiatives that create opportunity and development for those in need.
When you buy Repair The World® apparel your skin will be happy, and so will your heart. Join with us on our journey to repair the world.
