cuddle+kind 2023 Giving Book

the

GIVING BOOK feed 10 children with every doll

Lovingly hand-knit dolls that feed children in need.

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.

We are passionate about our mission and love every doll we make.

We sincerely hope you will too.

Together, we’ve provided

28,007,045 meals to children in need.

We support over

1,000 artisans

with fair trade employment.

Ethically produced

+ always fair trade.

Each cuddle+kind doll is lovingly handcrafted by talented artisans in Peru and Nepal 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.

“ I know my work and the effort put in is helping children in need. That excites me.”

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.

OPPORTUNITY Children deserve the opportunity to break the cycle of poverty they were born into.

EMPOWERMENT Girls and women should be empowered. Childhood hunger and malnutrition disproportionally affects girls.

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

how we give We’ve established partnerships with several highly respected humanitarian agencies to distribute the meals our dolls provide. Their programs and on-the-ground knowledge ensure that every purchase you make will directly benefit children in need.
