There's nothing we love more than being parents. We think nurturing our three children is the most important, rewarding and sometimes challenging job in the world!

With a background in health, we recognize the crucial role nutrition plays in a child's development. As parents, we believe all children should have enough food to eat and the opportunity to thrive, so when we saw a documentary on the devastating impact of childhood hunger on millions of children around the world, it inspired us to help. On that day, we decided to start a company whose purpose is to help improve the lives of children and to make a difference.

  Nutrition

  Every child deserves enough food to eat and the opportunity to thrive. It's what motivated us to start cuddle+kind and it's why we give 10 meals to children in need for every doll sold.

• 
  

  Education

  Every child deserves an education and needs the energy to learn. It's why we believe in and support school meal programs around the world.

• 
  

  Opportunity

  Every child deserves the opportunity to break the cycle of poverty they were born into. Good nutrition and an education are the keys to this opportunity.

  Empowerment

  Girls and women should be empowered. Childhood hunger and malnutrition disproportionally affect girls. School meal programs help increase the number of girls who are sent to school to get both a meal and an education.

  Fairness

  All the people who make our dolls deserve to be treated with fairness, dignity and kindness. We are committed to ethical production, which means all our artisans are empowered with equitable, sustainable employment and are paid a fair trade wage.
