Proper nutrition for school going children is considered to be crucial for their development and growth but unfortunately over 33 lakh children in India are malnourished and over 17 lakh out of these are severely malnourished, data suggests. “Our mission is simple. We want to make sure that not a single child in the country goes hungry and suffers the consequences of starvation”, says Madhurya Shroff, a senior member of Annamrita Foundation, one of the foremost organisations fighting hunger in India.

Our NGO partner Annamrita Foundation provides over 12 lakh nutrition packed mid-day meals to students of government school most of whom come from extremely poor backgrounds. However, there exists a sizable gap in funding that the NGO receives as support from the government and the actual cost of providing nutritious food. 

The only way Annamrita Foundation can continue to support lakhs of children is through donations to fill the funding gap. Help the NGO in its nobel endeavour to end malnutrition in children. Donate now.

You can make a donation easily through UPI, all debit/credit cards and net banking. 

Charitable donations to this fundraising campaign are tax exempted under 80G of the Income Tax Act (India), & 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (USA). 

Building a better tomorrow

“Our greatest joy is in the fact that, today, thanks to our mid-day meals programme, lakhs of children across the country are learning instead of earning. Mothers today feel their children should go to school rather than going out to work . These children were earlier being sent for begging, picking pocket, rag picking, etc. But now they are becoming a pillar of the country’s future” says Madhurya with a sense of pride. 

The Annamrita Foundation’s mid-day meal programme has increased school attendance in government schools across the country. And not just attendance, the highly nutritious food has enabled children to perform much better in academics as well as sports. 

Why donate to Annamrita Foundation

“The founder of ISKCON, Srila Prabhupadaji, once saw children and dogs fighting for a piece of roti. This sight pained him immensely and he felt that it was our duty to ensure that no child goes hungry, says Madhurya while shedding light on the inceptions of the NGO. 

The Annamrita Foundation which began by serving food to children in just one school has today expanded to 12 lakh daily meals for children across the country. The children that the NGO reaches come from the most marginalised and most underserved communities. These are the children who require nutrition support the most.

“When you see the joy of children receiving meals your hearts will be full of love. With a contribution of just Rs 1,100 you can ensure a needy child receives healthy meals for an entire school year. I urge you with folded hands to support us and give these children a healthier and brighter future”. Donate now

There is a sizable gap in funding between what we receive and what we spend owing to a steep rise in costs. We are dependent on the kindness of people to keep serving children day after day.
