| Amount Utilized (INR) | 2040500 | ||||||||||||
| Project Description | Our nutrition initiatives are making a measurable impact across vulnerable communities in Mumbai by addressing critical gaps in daily nourishment for children and pregnant women. 1) Hospital Nutrition Project We are providing regular nutritional support to 3,218 children (ages 5–14) suffering from life-threatening diseases such as cancer and tuberculosis at Tata, Wadia, KEM, JJ, and Sion hospitals. Nutritious foods like eggs, bananas, chikki, milk, and lassi, distributed 2–3 times a week, are helping boost immunity, energy, and recovery rates. 2) Pregnant Women Nutrition Support We support 85 pregnant women, aged 20–35, in Ganesh Murti Nagar, Ambedkar Nagar, and Colaba Aara, who lack access to proper prenatal nutrition. Weekly distributions of bananas, milk, and chikki are promoting healthier pregnancies and fetal development, reducing risks for both mother and child. 3) St. Matthew’s School Nutrition Program At St. Matthew’s High School in Malwani, we provide supplemental nutrition to 1,259 students, including 1,209 from Classes 1–7 and 40 boxing trainees. For many, this is their main source of nourishment. Daily bananas for all and eggs for the boxing children have resulted in significant improvements in growth, strength, and classroom performance. | ||||||||||||

| Beneficiary Description | 1) Hospital Nutrition Project We are currently supporting a total of 3,218 children, aged 5 to 14 years, who are undergoing treatment for serious illnesses such as cancer, tuberculosis, and other chronic conditions. These children are receiving care at five major government hospitals in Mumbai: Tata, Wadia, KEM, JJ, and Sion.

In addition, we support 40 children enrolled in the school’s boxing coaching program, providing them with enhanced nutrition to meet their increased physical demands. 3) Pregnant Women Nutrition Support Our program reaches 85 pregnant women, aged 20 to 35 years, living in Ganesh Murti Nagar, Ambedkar Nagar, and Colaba Aara.
