"Mend is a social enterprise based in Gulu, Uganda and a product line of Invisible Children that aims to better the lives of women directly affected by the Lord&amp;#039;s Resistance Army conflict through the facilitation of financial independence. It employs seamstresses and artisans, many of whom are former abductees. The bags produced by Mend&amp;#039;s seamstresses are available through the Invisible Children online store. The initiative also helps fund the work of Invisible Children, a non-profit organization that gained notoriety through the controversy that followed its Kony 2012 campaign in March of the same year.  &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Contact Information&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; Mend &amp;lt;a target=&amp;quot;_blank&amp;quot; href=&amp;quot;http://www.mend.co/&amp;quot;&amp;gt;website&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; Mend on &amp;lt;a target=&amp;quot;_blank&amp;quot; href=&amp;quot;http://www.facebook.com/menddesign&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Facebook&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; Mend on &amp;lt;a target=&amp;quot;_blank&amp;quot; href=&amp;quot;http://twitter.com/mendproject&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Twitter&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
