Action for Hunger and Michiko and Me

Michiko and Me have a range of lovely clothes. I particularly like their frilly knickers (not for me obviously, but for Bubby D).

And I also like that if I buy their clothes from the 1st of June 2013, they will make a donation from part of the profits towards Action Against Hunger (AAH).

If you don’t know who AAH are, then the clue is in the name – they are an international humanitarian organisation committed to ending child hunger. Recognised as a leader in the fight against malnutrition, AAH works to save the lives of malnourished children while providing communities with sustainable access to safe water and long-term solutions to hunger. With 30 years of expertise in emergency situations of conflict, natural disaster and chronic food insecurity, AAH runs life-saving programmes in over 40 countries helping some 7 million people each year.

Can’t really argue with that as a good cause!

The amount donated will range between £1 to £5 per product and currently applies across the entire range of products.

Nicky Lumb, founder of Michiko and Me says, “Our Michiko and Me designs are based on a principle of growing as the child grows. This notion of our children growing happily and healthily is a privilege that we often take for granted. Most of us are fortunate enough to be able to feed our children but this is not the case for all families around the world. Knowing you cannot feed your child is so painful, which is why Michiko and Me wanted to back a charity that supports children and families in the struggle against hunger. Action Against Hunger’s work includes saving malnourished children’s lives and improving families access to food and clean water for the future, making them the perfect charity for us to partner with.”

So why not help turn frilly knickers into food?
