Cuddle & Kind: 1 Million Meals to Children

I am a huge sucker for knitted dolls. When I saw the quality Cuddle and Kind offered, I had to get one for Caia. Each individual dolls are made with high quality cotton handcrafted by women in Peru, providing them with fair trade income. 

Small Spark, Big Impact:

A family started Cuddle and Kind after finding out the devastating reality childhood hunger. Some statistics: 66 million school-aged children attend classes hungry everyday, 45% of death among children under the age of 5 are caused by poor nutrition.

countries where they have made an impact.

How they give?

They partnered with World Food Program USA, Children's Hunger Fund, Breakfast Club of Canada, Orphanages in Haiti, and WE Charity School Nutrition Program to give children a chance to eat a nutritious meal. For some children lunch is the only meal they will have. One fact on their website reads, "Empowering girls is the key to healthier communities. Girls with more education have fewer children, have them later in life and are better prepared to care for and educate them. Studies have also shown that a woman’s education contributed to 43% of the reduction in child malnutrition over time."
