Kids Company is a volunteer organization that provides practical, emotional, and educational support to children in deprived areas of the UK. Founder Camila Batmanghelidjh commented, "For many children, a mother's bag is a source of joy, filled with happy things. However, for children who have been hurt and traumatized, it can become a source of fear and despair. This time, Fendi's friends and kind supporters have come together to create bags. The proceeds will be used to help children who have suffered indignities regain their dignity."
