Overview of Idea

Kaya is a socially conscious handbag line that supports empowerment of modern day women, while helping them to support the education of students in the Philippines. KAYA meaning "to be able to" in Tagalog, illustrates our mission to enable people to be able make a change in their world.

The Specifics: What will the $5,000 fund?

The $5,000 will be put to great use as we will:

1. Create both aesthetic and functional designs for the first line of KAYA handbags (a stylish functional tote).

2. We will product and ship our batch of totes through high quality and ethical manufacturers.

3. We will purchase and ship school supplies to our partnered schools in the Philippines, making a significant impact on the lives of hundreds of students.

4. We will market and advertise to our target market through high performance online advertising.

I love this! Who doesn't want an excuse to go shopping? But really, education is key and most children, sadly, go without it. The core of most problems lies in the lack of education, whether it be poverty, conservation or crime. I really believe this project has potential to create a social change and help inspire the world in an innovative fashion (pun intended).

I love it...The "To Be Able To" Movement...count me in!! Education is the primary source for growth within individuals and nations...cool to see that Western consumerism can help move people forward!

Great idea on bridging the gap between consumerism and difference making. I can see how a bag that carriers your livelihood can help power the very livelihood of children in the Philippines through education. Very excited to see the designs too!

Wow, this is such an awesome idea and by the looks of it, carries with it an awesome plan to implement it. I can't see the 5,000 go to a better cause than this. If this was on Kickstarter, my money would be on it for sure! So cool.
