Title: World Food Programme Feed Bag

Avg Customer Rating:

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!"

nice bag for everything - sturdy
This bag is very sturdy and big - reversible too if you get it dirty! I love it.

FEED Bag
This is a VERY well made bag. The best point is that money from the proceeds go towards feeding a child- what is better than that?. I fully recommend the purchase of this bag to everyone, not only for the re-usable part but for feeding the children that are less fortunate. WAY TO GO LAUREN FOR THIS PROGRAM- MY HAT IS OFF TO YOU!!!

Disappointed
The Bag was as described; however, when I ordered it, I was so excited that I would be helping a child receive food for a school year. I was, however, disappointed to find out that only $20 of the $59.95 purchase cost would go to help the child. I thought I would be at least helping two children. I can't believe that administrative costs are so high that only an initial $20 would be given to the child.

Expensive but I love it!
It is a lot of money to spend on a bag but it is for a good cause and it is a great bag! I have used it for a school bag, purse, shopping bag, you name it.

why not just donate the whole $60 to a charity instead????
Why spend $60 for something when only $20 is going to the charity? Hey, if it's a good bag and worth $60 then buy it, but don't fool yourself that you're doing some great deed by giving $40 to a company who is making a cheap burlap bag. There are so many charities out there where you can donate the $60 to and that would really be making a difference. It's always a good idea to check out the actual amount from the purchase the company is donating to a cause.

They advertise this bag as "$20 a year can transform a child's life and provide the tools for a lifetime of self-reliance." so why not just help out THREE kids and send the $60 directly to the organization? The company should be doing the right thing and donating 100% to the charity but it's often more about the hype than anything else.
