SAO PAULO, Brazil - Model Gisele Bundchen is donating $150,000 to help fight hunger in her native Brazil.

Bundchen will hand over the money — her fee for one show in Sao Paulo Fashion Week — to Brazilian first lady Marisa Silva, O Globo newspaper reported Sunday.

The fashion week starts Monday and Bundchen's appearance will be in a show by designer Ricardo Almeida, who also dresses President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

Silva is initiating a "zero hunger" program that is expected to cost at least $700 million annually.

"The campaign is very important for the country," Bundchen told O Globo.
