GIVING BOOK feed 10 children with every doll

We’re a family of five, on a mission to help feed children in need.

As parents, we believe all children should have enough food to eat and the opportunity to thrive. When we learned that 3.1 million children die of malnutrition each year – that’s one child every 10 seconds - it inspired us to help.

2

We started cuddle+kind to improve the lives of children and make a difference. For every doll sold, we give 10 meals to children in need.

Our goal is to provide one million meals a year.

Every one of our dolls is lovingly handcrafted with Peruvian cotton yarn and empowers talented women artisans with fair trade income.

Our whole family is passionate about our mission and loves every doll we make. We sincerely hope you will too.

Ethically produced

+ always fair trade.

Each cuddle+kind doll is lovingly handcrafted by talented artisans in Peru to be heirloom quality. Every doll is a little work of art that’s beautifully handmade, stitch by stitch.

For us, fair trade is a commitment to a different way of doing business.

It’s about putting the principles of fairness and decency first. We love being able to empower women with fair trade income and improve communities through the way our dolls are produced.

NUTRITION Every child deserves enough food to eat and the opportunity to thrive.

EDUCATION Every child deserves an education and needs the energy to learn.

OP PO RT UNIT Y Children deserve the opportunity to break the cycle of poverty they were born into.

EM PO WE RM E NT Girls and women should be empowered. Childhood hunger and malnutrition disproportionally affects girls.

FAI R NE SS Everyone should be treated with fairness and decency. All the artisan knitters who make our dolls are empowered with fair trade employment.
