TOMS Middle East debuts 10 limited edition NFTs in cooperation with the TOMS Impact Partner International Medical Corps. Customers who purchase TOMS contribute to the funding of access to mental health services for millions worldwide. To do this, TOMS donates one-third of its income to organizations that increase local fairness.
With this collaboration, TOMS is bringing this mission to the metaverse. Ten NFTs have been designed to highlight significant events in TOMS history and include the brand's iconic Alpargata silhouette in iterations inspired by the brand’s most significant milestones. On December 16, Open Sea will offer the limited-edition TOMS NFT collection.
By working with established community-based support groups, community-based psychosocial support workers, and local doctors and nurses, International Medical Corps launches large-scale initiatives to offer mental health and psychosocial services to displaced populations.
