Thank you for your gift to feed hungry school children in India. Your gift is having a significant impact on a child living in poverty who wouldn't be able to afford a good meal or even go to school. Last quarter, 200 school children at three different schools in Andhra Pradesh received a healthy lunch every day.
According to UNICEF, one-third of the world's malnourished children lives in India. Having no food limits a child's development and capacity to learn.
Many children in the villages come from poor families, and their parents are unable to feed them or send them to school. Because of you, children are not only able to eat a healthy school meal but they also receive a valuable education. You are equipping children with one of the most powerful tools to overcome poverty!
Ramya and Ramana are two sisters who have benefited from your gift. They were left by their parents at a young age and had to live with their sick grandma. They couldn't go to school because they had to work so they could support their grandma and have something to eat. They went house-to-house looking for menial jobs, so they could earn enough money to buy food. They felt sad and jealous of the other kids their age who went to school.
When the girls learned they would receive a free lunch at school every day they were so happy. Instead of working for scraps of food, they could go to school, get an education, and enjoy a satisfying and nutritious meal. Going to school changed their lives forever. Ramya and Ramana are excited they get to study, learn, play and eat a good meal every day. Their dream is to finish their education and get a good job.
Thank you for your support. You are feeding children like Ramya and Ramana with nutritious meals and helping them get a good education.
