In addition to this we will be showcasing a couple of our favourite designs as the <a href="/pages/bags-of-the-moment">bag(s) of the moment</a>, with 5% of the proceeds of these particular bags contributing towards loans for the time they are featured. We're very excited about this development and hope that over time – and with our customers support – we will be able to continually relend and increase our contribution to KIVA and the individual people who will benefit from each loan. </div><br/> </div>
