About Me
I have been a social worker throughout my life - right from my school days. What I have personally realized is, healthy food and quality education can transform a child's life. Without quality food, the potential and the capacity to learn and grow is significantly hampered.
My professional social work has taken me to many regions and countries around the world, and in my 30 plus years of work, I have seen remarkable changes when right kind of support and care is provided to a person who is facing challenge. Resilience is inbuilt in all of us - it is just a matter of giving the persons their agency to grow and fight back. Quality nutrition, supportive environment, right kind of education and skills can make wonders.
Appeal
I am supporting Rise Against Hunger India (https://riseagainsthungerindia.org) that provides healthy nutritious food to marginalized groups in rural and urban locations. Over 50,000 people receive Rise Against Hunger India's pre-packaged nutrition meals almost on a weekly basis. In cities and urban areas, meals support children, elderly, people with disabilities, women, terminally ill persons. In rural areas, meals support pregnant women, lactating mothers, malnourished children, elderly persons and TB patients.
This appeal is to support the nutritional requirements of the 64 community kitchen centers that Rise Against Hunger India is running in 9 Districts across 4 States. Most mothers in rural indigenous communities where these kitchens are running have high level of anemia and mineral deficiencies. Over 80% children between 6 to 23 months do not receive sufficient nutrition. The Community Kitchen Centers fill these nutritional gaps by providing cooked nutritious meals which are cooked and consumed by mothers. Around 1,400 participants are now benefitting from this. Cost per center comes to around 145,000 Indian Rupees
