The details...


What could be better than shopping? Helping others. This FEED Project bag lets you do both. Buying just one of these sturdy, reversible, reusable bags allows the UN World Food Programme to provide an entire school year's worth of nutritious meals to a hungry child.
Materials:
  • Burlap
  • Cotton twill lining
Measurements:
  • 15.5" high
  • 15" wide
  • 5.5" deep
  • 10.0" shoulder drop
Item Details:
  • No closure
  • The FEED Project is a partnership between the United Nations World Food Programme and Lauren Bush, WFP Honorary Spokesperson.
  • A school meal every day for 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.
  • 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.
Country of Origin:
  • China

Hunger and malnutrition are the No. 1 risk to global health, killing more people than AIDS, malaria, and TB combined. In fact, every five seconds, a child dies because he or she is hungry. The FEED bag is a product of the United Nations World Food Programme, and was designed to raise awareness and funds for hungry children. Each FEED bag sold will provide a school year of meals for one child in need and give them the hope of an education and a regular meal. Whether you tote your FEED bag to school, work, play, or shopping, remember that your bag helped to feed and educate a child.

Lower Price!!

Posted by:  SerialShopper (Atlanta, GA) Nov 4, 2009
I just bought another one of these bags. I am so glad they have lowered the price. The original $60 price tag was a little much for a $20 donation. Good for you WFP! It is a great, roomy bag for toting all your stuff and is for a good cause to boot! I recommend!

You gotta be kidding me

Posted by:  kaibobo (San Diego) Sep 30, 2009
Yes, I totally agree with many of the reviews here. It is utterly ridiculous to purchase this item given the lousy donation that is made to the cause. Give me a break, people- wouldn't (or shouldn't) you rather donate directly to the WFP, or Friends of the World Food Program, perhaps? $40 for a made in China mass-produced cheap bag? I'll pass...

Do the math!

I sponsor a child for $24 and I feed the children for $25, why in the world would I buy a bag for $60 so that World Food could get $20. Donating the full $60 would feed three children for the whole school year according to your own advertising.

Another Bush project

Please, give us a break what new way will they find to make money.
If anyone wants to help world hunger just get in touch with WFO and send money to their projects.
these bags must cost about 50 cents each in CHINA.

I WOULD buy.....

Posted by:  jmargush (PA) Sep 30, 2009
I would totally get behind this, buy them, recommend them to my entire network of friends and family IF the portion donated were more generous than $20 on a $60 bag, I mean come on, really. I love the mission idea behind this, but if our hearts are truly breaking for the hungry of the world, can't we be more generous and selfless? Just my thoughts.

You're kidding, right?

Posted by:  Andrea Z (Milwaukee, WI) Sep 30, 2009
Only $20 goes toward FEED? I love the bag, very much disgusted by the price. I would pay $40 for it — $20 for the bag, $20 to donate. I'd even pay $60 if $40 were donated. But to pay $40 for a bag that was manufactured in CHINA??? That means the bag probably cost no more than $2 to produce. No thanks. It's cute, but I'd rather send my money directly to this program rather than do it this way. And for those of you critiquing how the bag is made, are you kidding me too? For goodness sake, it's made out of FEED bag materials and the gist of the program is to donate to a cause. I cannot believe people are being picky about pockets and what not. Great cause. Not great in terms of who's really benefiting financially here.

Rip-off

Posted by:  Dodi Ellis (Manteca, CA) Sep 30, 2009
Isn't this a rip-off? I mean, only $20 is donated? $40 for this bag?! Give me a break. Shouldn't the manufacturer donate instead of profit from it? I'm sure they paid less than $5 for the material and labor. I was excited with this idea until I learned the truth. No thank you!

Great Product

Posted by:  kaysib (Chino Hills, CA) Jun 8, 2009
This is a great bag for a great cause. I love it when people ask me about it and I can direct them on where to purchase and what the cause is for. It's a fantastic way to spread the word.

like it, but not in love

The purpose behind the FEED 1 bag is awesome with feeding one child for one school year with the purchase of one purse. BUT I didn't know that only $20 of the $60 for the bag goes to feeding the one child. I also, wish the purse was a bit more compact so you can store it with a bit more ease. I did purchase the FEED 100 bag, one that folds into itself, and that one is only $30. It's a lot more portable, and easier to use than this bag. This bag is sturdier and more "heavy duty", and is reversable but I'm not sure how much use I'll get out of this bag compared to the FEED 100 bag I purchased.

Wish the Donation portion was Larger

Posted by:  comfortseeker (chicago) May 9, 2009
This is very cool and makes a great statement when used. It has many nice features, as it's reversible with pockets. But, you actually pay $40 for the bag. Only $20 is a donation. I wish the manufacturer would be more benevelent.

great cause, great bag

A well made tote bag lined in a soft cotton, roomy with handles long enough to fit over the shoulder.
