Help Feed Guatemala with a New FEED Bag!

Posted by Jaasmin Hunte at 4:56 pm

On a recent vacation to Mexico, one of my good friends bought me a new bag-it was absolutely beautiful. Imagine my surprise when she told me my new tote was actually a FEED Guatemala Bag, and was helping provide relief for children in Guatemala. The FEED Guatemala Bags were actually created to support UNICEF’s nutrition programs to help the children of Guatemala to receive the vital vitamin and mineral supplements they need to survive. Each bag is handmade by Nest, a nonprofit organization that works to empower female artisans all over the world. Depending on the size, the sale of each bag supplies an entire year’s worth of nutrition to anywhere between 1 and 5 children a child in Guatemala-the most malnourished Latin American country.

Seeing the powerful results of these bags remind me how important it is to give back. Over 240,000 children under the age of five die every day from preventable causes, namely malnutrition. Make sure to pick up a brand new bag! Not only is this a great way to help those in need, but to also get a great bag click here!

When will you be picking up your bag?

What other philanthropic efforts have you participated in?
