Mend
The Story
The Client:
Invisible Children
The Ask:
Tell the story of Mend, the social enterprise that produces high-quality bags made by women in Northern Uganda who have been directly affected by the LRA conflict.
The Swoon:
Mend believes products have value because of the people that make them, so each bag purchased comes with the name, thumbprint, and story of the seamstress who made the bag. Overall, Mend supported and trained 24 seamstresses, 140 dependents, and 9,701 bags were produced. Talk about impact.
