Saraswati Vishwakarma spends her day in and out of a public hospital in Mumbai since her niece was admitted there. On most days she goes hungry and sometimes a small vada pav is all that she can afford to eat in the entire day. Like Saraswati there are thousands of underprivileged families living outside government hospitals in extreme conditions, with no food or a bed to sleep on, waiting for their loved ones to get the treatment they require.
Vikas Parcchanda, CEO Akshaya Chaitanya, Maharashtra Chapter is supporting thousands of family members living outside government hospitals with 6,500 hot and nutritious meals every day. This requires a continuous flow of funds, which are now drying up. They have enough cash to sustain for just one more month.
One full meal a day- one thing less to worry
“They stay here for weeks, sometimes even months. They are poor, most of them have no medical insurance, they lose their livelihood and have no place to stay. Many find refuge on sidewalks and pavements to sleep and decide to go hungry for days, just to save a few more rupees. So we wanted to ensure no families of the patients getting treated in these hospitals go hungry or compromise on their meals ” - Vikas Parchhanda, CEO, Akshaya Chaitanya, Maharashtra Chapter.
Every day Akshaya Chaitanya serves 6,500 free unlimited hot & nutritious meals at Mumbai’s 17 major public hospitals. These free meals help families save at least ₹100 every day - a big amount for low-income individuals.
Served with love
Food for the ‘Hospital Feeding Programme’ is made in a centralised Akshaya Chaitanya kitchen where hundreds of kgs of rice, dal and vegetables are cooked every day. Rice, mixed veg gravy, sambhar, pulao and curd are some of the items they serve.
“Each of these the family members wait in anticipation for the food to be served the next day. But the reality is we have the funds to run this kitchen for only a month. Our grocery and vegetable stock is depleting and we are in need of urgent support to continue feeding these hungry souls waiting outside the hospital. Please help us” - Vikas Parchhanda. CEO, Akshaya Chaitanya, Maharashtra Chapter
