Handmade from used jute rice bags. These bags would normally go into a landfill in India compounding the problems of a high population and a weak infrastructure. Buying this bag helps preserve the earth's resources! Good karma. Good vibes. Every Rice Love bag purchased donates rice to families in need. Your purchase of this bag provides 1 kilo (2.2 lbs) of rice to a family in need in India. Indians typically eat rice three meals per day. This will last the average family (of 4 people) almost 3 days. We give away 25 kilos of rice at a time. This typically gives families about a month of rice! Buying this bag feeds families!
