Singer/fashion designer Gwen Stefani decided she wanted to spend quality time with her sons 8-month old Zuma and toddler Kingston while rehearsing for for No Doubt’s upcoming tour, so she did the logical thing for a multi-millionaire celebrity: She had a day care center installed at S.I.R. Studios in Hollywood for a mere $100,000.

At home in Beverly Hills, the kids sleep on $300 sheets.

According to to the United Nations’ World Food Programme, as of March 2008 it costs 25 cents a day to feed a school child in developing countries through WFP; this cost includes the cost of the meal, its transportation, cooking and distribution. Additionally:

In the poorest parts of the world, a school feeding programme can double primary school enrolment in one year. Among the key beneficiaries are girls, who otherwise may never be given the opportunity to learn…However something more is needed to attract the poorest girls to school. In its "take-home ration" projects, WFP provides basic food items, often including a sack of rice and a can of cooking oil, to families who send their daughters to school.

On one hand it’s awesome Gwen Stefani is a self-created woman who used her talents and vision of female empowerment to become a huge success and is thus able to provide a temporary day-care nursery for her kids to be close to her as she prepares to earns millions more. On the other hand, by spending a little less, with the difference, thousands of girls could be on the way to their own empowerment.
