Michael Kors is doing what he can to assist in the fight against hunger.
The designer will be releasing 2 separate watches in collaboration with the United Nations World Food Program that will greatly benefit children in need for each watch sold.

Michael spoke about his reasoning behind his philanthropic efforts:
“We wanted to contribute in a way that would make a real difference in people’s lives. Joining forces with the World Food Program enables us to do that. The fact is, hunger is a solvable problem and I’m proud that we can be a part of the solution.”
Kors will be releasing two unisex watches as part of the “Watch Hunger Stop” campaign. The watches come in two sizes, with the smaller one retailing for $295 and the larger for $325. Each watch sold will allow for 100 children to be fed through the WFP. In addition, Kors is launching a text-to-donate program to raise further funds.

Michael Kors went on to explain his deep sympathy for those in need:
“Over the years, I’ve had the great fortune of traveling the world and experiencing new cultures and people, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that millions of people all over the world are struggling to feed themselves, and their families, every day. I want to lend my voice and my efforts to this international cause.”
Look out for Michael Kors to release both watches for the “Watch Hunger Stop” campaign in March 2013.
