Product Description:

- Buying one World Food Programme FEED bag feeds a child in school for one school year.
- School feeding acts as a magnet, dramatically increasing enrollment, sometimes by as much as 100 percent. It also improves performance at school; children concentrate better on a full stomach.
- Girls who go to school not only marry later, but have half as many children than illiterate women. Furthermore, these children are healthier and better educated.
- $20 a year can transform a child's life and provide the tools for a lifetime of self-reliance. School feeding is a simple but effective way to beat hunger and poverty.
- The FEED Project is a partnership between the United Nations World Food Program and Lauren Bush, WFP Honorary Spokesperson.
 | Lauren Bush Honorary Spokesperson for the UN World Food Programme |
"FEED is a project I initiated to help fight child hunger. For the past 3 years I have been an Honorary Spokesperson for the UN World Food Program (WFP), which is the food-aid arm of the UN humanitarian forces.
Throughout my time as a volunteer, I have gotten to travel to 7 countries around the world (Guatemala, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Chad, Lesotho, Tanzania, and Honduras) that are all receiving food aid from WFP. The people I have met during my travels struggle each day to obtain one of the most basic human needs--food. It breaks my heart to think that every 5 seconds a child dies needlessly of hunger and malnutrition."
| "But the most hopeful thing I have seen during my travels is WFP's school feeding program, where kids are given a lunch meal in school each day. This is incentive enough for kids to attend school when they might not normally, and the meal is nutritious enough for kids to stay healthy and engaged in their studies. It is truly inspiring to see kids, who are born into extreme poverty, in school eager to learn and improve their lives!" | | | "The FEED bag is a sturdy, reversible bag made out of natural burlap and cotton materials. The design of the bag was inspired by the big bags of food that I have seen being distributed to schools around the world. Besides being a cool bag, it is a tangible way to make a difference in the fight against child hunger. Every FEED bag sold will feed a child for a whole year in school!
Thank you for your support of the FEED project! With your help we will be making a big difference in children's lives around the world, one child at a time. So wear your bag with pride!" |

FEED BAG
2008-11-16At the top of my granddaughter's Christmas list this year was a Feed Bag purse. She had observed a lady with one at her church. She was drawn to it and inquired about it. When she found out part of the purchase price would go to feed the hungry, she said she was willing to sacrifice some of the money we woud spent on her this Christmas to share with those in need. Her name is Rachel and she is 14 years old. I'm so happy to give her this bag for Christmas because she has truly learned the Spirit of Christmas.
High Quality- For a Great Cause
2008-10-01I absolutely love this bag! It is a bit expensive, so I had to wait to receive it as a Christmas present- however it was well worth the wait. It is incredibly sturdy and the perfect size for use a beach tote or a school bag. I've used it as a school bag for two years now and its a bit worn down, but still in great shape. The white side can get dirty like any other bag, and I normally use the natural color. It's a great conversation piece- so many people ask me about the bag and where they can get their own! Worth the price- especially if given as a gift! I highly recommend this bag!
It takes a village...and a bag..
2008-10-01In a world full of so many luxuries for many of us it is hard to believe or even grasp that there are children dying needlessly of hunger. It can feel overwhelming at times and some may even consider justifying their apprehension by saying they are not sure where their money really goes. Or feeling that it really isn't their responsibility, but you know what? When it comes to innocent children, born to unfortunate circumstances, it is everyones responsiblity to try and help. So that being said...I think this bag represents a great cause. It not only helps a child, but it is a gentle reminder of the good that was acheived by one small act of kindness. It also spreads the word to others giving them a chance to leave their mark and do something selfless for someone else, just because they can. And on top of all that, it truly is an awesome, functional, well-made bag. What more can you ask for? Buy it and buy one as a gift...it serves a dual purpose, a gift for someone you know and a gift for someone you may never know...
