Half United is a business enterprise whose aim is to end world hunger through

fashion, effectively killing two birds with one stone. For every product bought,

children in need would get 7 free meals.

Their most iconic product is the “Fighting Hunger

Necklaces”, which are made of recycled bullet casings.
