Mid day Meals for Disabled Children

Mid day meals for disabled children

Project # 16999 from Balajothi Centre for the Disabled

Funding target - $19800 : Funds raised to date – 12,817.31

Project report due date Jan 23, 2021 / Report sent on Jan 12, 2021

For many parents the motivation to send a disabled child to school is to ensure that the child would get at least one good meal. However, due to challenges with funds at times we are forced to settle with just snacks or a fruit instead of a proper meal. This impacts children's attendance at the school and in turn their health & nutrition.

This project intends to raise funds to support the mid-day meals provided at the centre, which in turn not only helps with child's attendance at the school but also improves their health, concentration, attention level and nutrition resulting in overall development and progress.

Apart from nutrition, these children are taught the process of self feeding or independent eating and eating the right way as most of the disabled children lack in this area of development. This is part of our training to make every disabled child to become self reliant.

Balajothi thanks YOU DONOR from the bottom of our hearts for your selfless and sacrificial giving of $ 12817.31 to date for this noble cause of feeding an under privileged and intellectually challenged child.  Your giving is all the more commendable during this COVID-19 pandemic and we thank you all the more for your generosity.  Your continued contribution will help to feed these children through this difficult period.  God bless you.

Balajothi thanks GlobalGiving for their continuous and commendable support in raising funds for this noble cause.  May your endeavors result in helping more and more needy children at Balajothi and elsewhere. God bless you GlobalGiving !!
