Actress Halle Berry and fashion designer Michael Kors have joined hands to create watches for charity.

The duo will create two special watches in association with the United Nations World Food Programme and the proceeds from this will provide aid to people unable to feed their families, reported Contactmusic.

"She (Halle) brings talent, energy, generosity, and of course star power to a cause that is extremely important to me," said Kors.

The accessories will go on sale in May and with every watch sold, 100 meals will be provided to the needy people.

Berry, 46, who is expecting her first child with fiance Olivier Martinez, believes it is important to stand up for world hunger as a woman in order to have an real impact on the way families live.
 

"Statistics show that women play a crucial role in defeating hunger. WFP is especially focused on providing assistance to women because, as mothers, teachers, and entrepreneurs, they will improve the future for their families and communities.

"It's an effort I'm eager to be a part of because I'm certain we can make a real and substantial difference in the lives of people in need," Berry said.
