✪ “No poor kid should go to school without a bag” These are the words that came to the minds of the founders of Bag 943. Founded by friends, RJ Garcia and Josh Mahinay, the business/movement is driven by the passion of the owners to help poor kids in the country. For every purchase of their product, one bag will be given to underprivileged kid which will be use in their schooling.
According to RJ Garcia, putting up the business they just started with a small capital, and with the help of some good friends who have learn about the advocacy, supports poured in to initially start the movement to continue and survive.
“Its definitely more of a movement than a business”, added by RJ, which considers the move to be like a baby steps in helping. They wanted to be one of the medium in getting people who could reach out and give help to these poor and needy kids in different parts of the country. On every bag drive, pictures of the kids being supported will be e-mailed to the donors for them to know who specifically received the bags they donated. This will then usually trigger some donors to not limit themselves on giving bags rather donate more by giving school supplies, scholarships and the likes.
And talking about the quality of the bag, definitely an A+. Having not just local but an international market, Bag 943 doesn’t like to compromise on the brand. Buying a Bag 943 expect a high quality bag materials like those of the Samsonite or Northface brands whilst those that are being given to the kids are comparable to the bag materials of Nike.
Currently Bag 943 can be purchase online and you can choose from 4 different colors, in pink, blue, red and black. This summer the founders are planning to come up with new colors like yellow and purple.
