Clarins & 
THEIR FUTURE OUR COMMITMENT
The project was born in 2011, when two caring individuals met, drawn together by their shared belief in how educating children can make the world a better place: Christian Courtin-Clarins and Lauren Bush Lauren.
Clarins and FEED are proud to be supporting the UN’s food-assistance branch: WFP*.
Together, we’re helping thousands of children improve their diet and receive an education.

Lauren Bush Lauren:
a woman with conviction.
Returning home from a trip abroad as a spokesperson for the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) in which she was brought face-to-face with world hunger, Lauren Bush Lauren founded FEED Projects in 2007 with a view to setting up school nutrition programmes. She came up with the idea of creating a product that would raise public awareness of world hunger and set about designing and promoting her FEED 1 bag. The “1” stands for one meal for one school child for one year.
Children’s stories

Langizo
"I no longer go to school because of the pandemic, I want to go back to school to learn but also to eat porridge. I have not been eating breakfast since the school closed and I’m hungry every morning. Today, I’m happy to eat the school breakfast again. It gives me energy and keeps me healthy.
Maths is my favourite subject. I want to become a medical doctor when I grow up because the sick need help in hospitals. I hope to return to school one day when the pandemic is over."- Langizo from Malawi.Photo: WFP/Francis Thawani

“My family and I live in Siem Reap Province. I love to eat Korkor Soup because it has lots of vegetables, pumpkin and meat. I love to study Khmer literature. In the future, I want to become a doctor because I could help patients.” - Nok Kimlay, aged 11 (2019) Siem reap, Cambodia
