Feed the poor and needy in Goa

Dear Sponsor,

India is home to a quarter of all undernourished people worldwide, making the country a key focus for tackling hunger on a global scale. Hunger continues to plague India, affecting millions of lives and hindering the nation's progress. But if we all come together to feed the hungry then, we will be able to strive towards a future where no one goes to bed hungry. We all must work together to ensure a hunger-free India, fostering a nation where every citizen has access to adequate food and the opportunity to thrive.

At El Shaddai, we have made it our mission that no one should go to bed hungry. And with this in our hearts and mind, we have been able to start feeding programmes like “Mid-day Meals” and “Meals on Wheels”. Our staff distribute home-cooked nutritious hot meals to children at our Daycare shelters and community centres. Packed meals are also distributed in the slum areas to children and also to underprivileged people at various places in North and South Goa, like railway stations, Bus stands, temples etc. We have continued with our monthly distribution of grocery kits to underprivileged families. These families will have at least one less thing to worry about. We have realized that every meal shared is an opportunity to make a positive impact. Helping to feed those in need is a powerful way to give back to the community. So we request everyone to join us in the fight against hunger and be a part of the solution for your support that can provide nourishment and bring smiles to hungry faces."

Through our feeding programmes, we have reached out to many children and individuals. One such touching story is of the Banjara family. This family's journey became a compelling success story, driven by the transformative impact of the Midday Meal program at one of our shelters. Originating from Bihar, Mukesh (name changed) his wife and their three children found themselves facing the challenges of a new life. The nutritional landscape of this family underwent a profound transformation. Daily meals, provided through the Midday Meal program, became a source of essential nutrients, addressing the once-pressing issue of malnutrition. The health and physical well-being of the three children experienced a renaissance, setting the stage for a brighter, healthier future.

Education, too, became a cornerstone of their success story. The assurance of a nutritious meal fueled the children's motivation to attend school regularly. The once-lagging academic progress saw a remarkable upswing, as they began to catch up to their age-appropriate grade levels. As the days unfolded, this family's success story became a beacon of hope and resilience, resonating with the belief that every meal served was a stepping stone toward a brighter tomorrow. The once-humble hut in the Model Dumping Area became a symbol of triumph over adversity, echoing with the laughter of children, the sound of pages turning in textbooks, and the aroma of shared meals.

All this would not be possible without the help and support of generous and kind-hearted people like you. Thank you for being a part of the El Shaddai family for your continued support and love for the work we do and for joining us in our mission of putting an end to Hunger.

Sincerely

Dear friend,

With India experiencing an alarming rate of hunger, El Shaddai has stepped forward with a goal to put an end to Hunger and Malnutrition.

We are doing our best to eradicate the core’s hunger-related issues by making all possible efforts in feeding hungry families to ensure a proper standard of living for one and all. With feeding programmes like “Mid-day Meals” and “Meals on Wheels”, the outreach workers distribute home-cooked nutritious meals to children at our Daycare shelters and community centres. Packed meals are also distributed in the slum areas to children and also to underprivileged and abandoned people at places like railway stations, Bus stands, temples etc.

We see so many individuals going to bed hungry without a single morsel of food. Children without proper food result in being malnourished. Pregnant mothers with no proper nutritious diet are giving birth to low-weight babies and also go through miscarriages. To help all such people, we have started these feeding projects.

El Shaddai has thus far distributed 5,400,000 meals to underprivileged children and Individuals.  Through our feeding programmes, we have reached out to many children and individuals. One such story is of a girl named Asha (name changed) who lived with her parents and two siblings in a small makeshift house. There was hardly any food to eat as it needed to be equally distributed among all. To make matters worse her mother met with an unfortunate accident and lost her right hand. Seeing her in this state her father instead of lending a helping hand abandoned his entire family and went away. The mother was completely shattered, for all she could think of is “What will my children eat and how will they survive”?

On one of our outreach drives, we met this family and we promised them that every day we will distribute food to the children and to the mother too. This family will have one less thing to worry about.

We want to help more such families and with our goal of “Zero Hunger” we move forward with your help and support in feeding the poor and the needy.

We thank you for your continued support and love for the work we do and for joining us in our mission of putting an end to Hunger.

Sincerely

El Shaddai
