Our Mission

Build better futures one meal at a time.

One Item Purchased = One Meal Donated

2,000,000 Meals Donated & Counting

Every purchase funds a meal for a child through free school meal programs. Reducing hunger, boosting attendance, easing the load on families.

  • A large group of children in blue uniforms sits on a tiled courtyard floor under a building with white columns, holding and surrounding a banner that reads '1,000,000+ MEALS DONATED'. Several adults are standing around them, including a man holding the banner.
  • A group of young school children running happily along a covered outdoor corridor with colorful pillars and walls.
  • Three stainless steel bowls filled with food on a green surface: one bowl contains white rice, and the other two contain brown curries garnished with chopped green herbs.
  • A group of smiling children wearing matching school uniforms with blue skirts and red-and-blue plaid shirts, standing together in a doorway.
  • A man in a black t-shirt and light pants stands outdoors with a group of children wearing blue school uniforms, posing together in a rural outdoor setting with trees and a water tank visible in the background.

How it works:

Your purchase helps fund free school meal programs for thousands of children daily.

These meals alleviate hunger, encourage school attendance, and reduce financial stress.

As a result, children experience healthier growth and consistent education that can pave the way for better futures.

Where We Donate

From day one we decided we would work to make a positive change in our production partners’ communities. For this reason we donate to schools in Bangalore, India. This is where we produce most of our clothing.
