For the end of Spring and beginning of Summer (March - July 2014) Little Pieces of Hope donated 15% of our proceeds to Whole Planet Foundation. Whole Planet's mission is to help alleviate poverty world-wide through micro-loans. By purchasing LPOH jewelry during these months, customers helped empower entrepreneurs all over the world. Overall, we were able to raise $851. For more details on the campaign, check out the fundraiser page here.
