This isn't a Plastic bag Either

Couldn't get your hands on the Anya Hindmarch tote? Here's another bag that supports a worthy cause: the World Food Programme's FEED bag.

From Amazon:


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.

19 cents a day or 34 dollars 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.
