Untitled Document 
- 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 the children August 26, 2008
i love my world food programme feed bag! it is huge, durable, and reversable! it's a great bag! i'm thrilled with the bag itself and i'm more thrilled that it will feed one child for an entire school year! that was the bag's biggest seller for me! i get a great bag and a child gets to eat! what could be better? i would buy the bag again in a heartbeat and i hope you will too!!!
I Wish It Was Sold In Stores August 25, 2008
I love the Feed 1 bag! It is very sturdy, roomy, and people always ask me about it! My only complaint is that it is currently only available on Amazon, while Whole Foods sells the Feed 100 bags in their stores. I have heard that they are supposed to sell this bag but every time I have asked, they tell me they will not be getting any in the stores. Overall, though, a wonderful purchase and would make a great gift!
 Get this @ Whole Foods!!! August 4, 2008

I nearly purchased this bag thinking the cause was good, but upon reading further reviews I started to question the ridiculously high price.
This bag is sold at Whole Foods Markets for 1/2 the price. They cover some of the mark-up so your money is spent helping supply 100 meals. Go there to purchase it!
Give 100% elsewhere, stop paying marketers June 27, 2008

Great idea, poor use of money.
Go to direct sites like the Red Cross or Catholic Charities or.... there are many well-known and established charitable sites that well put MORE of your money DIRECTLY to good use.
I suppose something is better than nothing, but why do we need to GET something in order to give? To show off our pride in what we are giving? Give it all, and smile inside knowing without the bag you are feeding x amount more kids.
 Just give your money directly June 26, 2008

I loved this bag when i saw it, loved the idea..told everyone about it.. Then it fell apart. I used to back and forth to work to hold my purse and laptop. the burlap started falling apart and leaving burlap pieces on all my clothes...i tried sewing it to make it last longer, didnt work...better to get a 10$ bag and give the other $50 directly to WFP, with the bag only $20 goes and you end up looking a mess due to the burlap falling apart. I think mine started falling apart in three months and i wasnt very tough on it...used it for flying a few times but that and work, and i drive to work so it's not like it was doing much more than being toted from the house to the car and from the car to the office.
Also, depending on what you are wearing the burlap can make pulls or wear your clothes in spots... thats why i always used the cotton on the outside...plus the cotton print with the 1 is really great looking.
