Lauren Bush created this T-shirt in partnership with Marie Claire and the UN World Food Programme (WFP) to raise funds to fight hunger in Third World countries. Just $34.95, it's made by American Apparel in high-quality, cream-colored organic cotton and looks great by itself or under a blazer. Your money will feed 100 kids at school for a day.

Each shirt is $34.95 (plus $5.95 S&H). Shirts come in S, M, L, and XL, with at least $19 from each sale (100 percent of the net proceeds) benefiting WFP. Sorry, but no returns. Please allow up to four weeks for delivery. Hurry -- quantities are limited.

All the proceeds from a FEED bag go directly to feeding one hungry child for one school year through the UN World Food Programme (WFP). Proceeds from each FEED T-shirt will provide 100 kids with a school meal for 1 day.

Facts about WFP School Feeding:

  • Hunger and malnutrition are the #1 risk to global health, killing more people than AIDS, malaria, and TB combined
  • Every 5 seconds a child dies because he or she is hungry
  • In 2005 WFP fed 21.7 million children in 74 countries
  • Research shows that free school lunches can increase attendance rates by 100 percent and boost academic performance


    • WFP Food for Education in numbers:
    400 million = The number of children in the world who go to bed hungry.
    115 million = The number of school-age children who do not go to school.
    62 million = 53 percent of children out of school are girls.
    50 million = The number of hungry children who are currently not receiving any form of assistance.
    $34 U.S. = The annual cost of WFP's Food for Education program per child.
    19 cents U.S. = The daily cost of WFP's Food for Education program per child.

  • Nutritious food and education help poor children break out of the cycle of poverty. Studies show educated girls marry later, have fewer children and have their children farther apart. Educated parents, in turn, are more likely to send their own children to school.
  • School meals and education also contribute directly to an individual's earning potential. A World Bank study of 13 countries found that four years or more of primary education increased farmers' productivity by up to 10 percent.
