But, in other countries the help just isn’t there and won’t be there without the help from other organizations and programs.

One such program is the FEED Bag Project that help to raise money for the United Nations World Food Programme. The project was started by Lauren Bush with an and activist and former model, because she felt the crisis was important enough to her to help.

The FEED Bag project create burlap sacks that are sold to the open public and every cent raised goes to the U.N. WFP. One bag sold through her project can help to provide a school lunch for 1 year to a child in these countries. The meals are offered through the incentive to get children to attend school hand the most important part is they give the children the proper nutrition they all need to grow.

You can purchase your FEED Bag, which will feed one child in school for a year, for $30 or a FEED 2 Bag, which will feed two children in school for a year, for $100 of the website or at Whole Foods Markets. The project is geared to help the environment by using recycled burlap sacks as well as help children in other countries get the proper education and a proper meal as well.
