Five ways Karlie Kloss show that girls rule the world

There has always been a binary set up between rationality and emotion, the former attributed to the man whereas the latter one to the woman. We have all heard clichéd stereotypical statements like Boys don’t cry or Girls are bad at Math. But as Simone De Beauvoir said, “One is not born but becomes a woman“. History has time and time again disrupted these stereotypes, for example, Shakuntala Devi,…

Spread the Love with Gifts that Give Back

Buying gifts is the best. Isn’t it? It’s so fun to shop for someone else and carefully consider, “what will put a smile on their face?” My favorite gifts to give are those with a story. I don’t mean an exciting play-by-play of how I narrowed down the options and landed on just the right thing. No, I mean a gift with an impact that goes beyond the recipient. As I look to give back with each gift…

  West Elm + FEED Project

FEED began in 2006 when model and activist Lauren Bush designed a bag to benefit the United Nations World Food Programme’s (WFP) School Feeding program. Lauren visited countries around the world in Asia, Latin America, and Africa where WFP is operating and was inspired by the plight of the people she met on her travels. She took a special interest in WFP’s School Feeding program, which feeds and educates hungry children. She first created the FEED 1 bag, a reversible burlap and organic cotton bag reminiscent of the bags of food distributed by WFP, to help raise funds and awareness around these school feeding operations. It was stamped with “FEED the children of the world” and the number ‘1’ to signify that each bag feeds one child in school for one year. And in 2007, FEED Projects LLC was founded by Lauren Bush and Ellen Gustafson to produce and sell these bags.

To date, FEED has been able to raise enough money through the sale of products to provide over 60 million school meals to children around the world through WFP. FEED has also partnered with the US Fund for UNICEF, raising much-needed funds for their Vitamin A and micronutrient supplements program and providing over 46,000 children with essential nutrients.

In addition to the company, FEED started a non-profit organization called the FEED Foundation, which is dedicated to supporting programs and organizations that are effectively working to fight hunger and eliminate malnutrition throughout the world.

FEED Projects’ mission is to create good products that help FEED the world. They do this through the sale of FEED bags, bears, t-shirts, and other accessories by building a set donation into the cost of each product. Thus the impact of each product, signified by a stenciled number, is understandable, tangible, and meaningful.

FEED Project takes great pride in using environmentally-friendly and artisan-made materials, along with fair-labor production, in creating all FEED products.

They stand behind the brand and the organizations and humanitarian programs each FEED product supports. Ultimately, FEED Project believes that everyone has the right to basic human necessities, such as healthy and nutritious food. FEED is proud to help FEED the world, one bag at a time.

So now it’s up to you. Purchase a FEED Product which range in prices from $5 to $225. There’s even a FEED trick or treat bag for $18. If you’re thinking, “I have one too many bags”, there are accessories and kid/baby items you can purchase for your own tot or as a gift. Kid/Baby items range from Baby bibs to T’s and even a Back-to-school kit. If you’re looking for an extra budget friendly item, try the FEED bracelets which range from $5 to $15 to $30. Personally, I’m loving the RED LOVE 30 bag for $80.
