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
