Inspired Mothers: Tune in for a really bright idea

April 28, 2010
With Mother's Day just around the corner, the FEED Guatemala Bags for UNICEF really are a bright idea! Handmade by women artisans in Guatemala from traditional Ikat fabrics, the FEED Guatemala pouch and bag will be available for purchase exclusively at Lord & Taylor stores nationwide and online just in time for Mother's Day. FEED bags are part of the FEED Projects co-founded by UNICEF Next Generation steering committee member Lauren Bush. The goal of the FEED Projects is to support partners like UNICEF who provide nutrition to children through the sale of FEED bags. Lack of nutrition is a serious problem in Guatemala with nearly 23% of children over three months and under five years of age suffering from malnutrition while almost one-half suffer from chronic malnutrition. After travelling to Guatemala with UNICEF, Lauren wanted to double her efforts for the nutrition programs there - hence, the FEED Guatemala bags. Here's how it works: for every FEED 1 pouch sold, FEED donates $3.50 to the U.S Fund for UNICEF to provide daily nutrition for a child in Guatemala. For every FEED 3 Guatemala bag sold, FEED donates $10.50 to the U.S. Fund for UNICEF, to provide daily nutrition for 3 kids for a year. That's a whole lot of numbers but it's really simple - FEED 1 pouch will help 1 child and FEED 3 bag will help 3 children for not one day or one month but an entire year.

They are bright, they are colorful, they sport one of the hottest fashion trends, they celebrate the skills of the women who make them ... and they will provide lifesaving nutrition for children. Need we say more? With Mother's Day just around the corner, the FEED Guatemala Bags for UNICEF really are a bright idea!

FEED Guatemala Bags to benefit UNICEF Nutrition programs

FEED Projects is co-founded by UNICEF's Next Generation steering committee member Lauren Bush, with the goal to support partners like UNICEF who provide nutrition to children through the sale of FEED bags. Poor nutrition is a serious problem in Guatemala, where nearly 23% of children over three months and under five years of age suffer from malnutrition and almost one-half suffer from chronic malnutrition. After traveling to Guatemala with UNICEF, Lauren wanted to double her efforts for the nutrition programs there - hence, the FEED Guatemala bags.

Here's how it works: for every FEED 1 pouch sold, FEED donates $3.50 to the U.S Fund for UNICEF to provide daily nutrition for a child in Guatemala. For every FEED 3 Guatemala bag sold, FEED donates $10.50 to the U.S. Fund for UNICEF, to provide daily nutrition for 3 kids for a year. 

That's a whole lot of numbers but it's really quite simple - FEED 1 pouch will help 1 child and FEED 3 bag will help 3 children -- not for one day or one month but for an entire year.
