To most of us, breaking into pairs of new shoes every month is quite a common thing. But as you read this, there are thousands of people in poor countries living most of their lives barefooted; having soles under their feet is considered a luxury.

Soles4Souls is an organization dedicated to help and provide shoes to these people in poverty. They have just started the ‘50,000 shoes’ campaign, which aims to provide 50,000 pairs of shoes in 50 days to those in need. Log on to their official website to find out how you can lend a hand with just a minimum of USD 5. Also check out the video created by JulianSmith.tv for the campaign.

Fancy another almost-naked celeb print tee? Well, here’s one that you can purchase for a good cause.

Marc Jacobs got celebrities like Winona Ryder, Christy Turlington, Selma Blair, Dita Von Teese, Rufus Wainwright, Julianne Moore, Naomi Campell and many others to take off their clothes for a skin cancer awareness campaign. Their photos taken by Brian Bowen Smith are being printed on a series of Marc Jacobs’ tees to be sold in the store alongside with the on going awareness campaign. The proceed from the sale of the tees will go directly to NYU’s Melanoma Cooperative. This skin cancer awareness campaign has stars covering their body parts with cheeky slogans like “Save Your Ass” or “Protect Your Largest Organ”.

Each tee is retailed at only USD20 at Marc Jacobs stores for limited time.
