And the verdict is ….delicious!
On October 16, Project Help India celebrated World Food Day at our Kotdwara office, marking a day of nourishment, learning, and community support. Our team prepared a nutritious meal rich in essential elements and distributed it among slum children, reinforcing the critical link between healthy eating and learning potential. Social worker Mr. Vivek Agarwal from Kotdwara attended as guest judge, lending his expertise and encouragement. World Food Day serves as a timely reminder to educate our students about nutrition, food safety, and healthy habits that can last a lifetime. It’s a day that the entire organisation looks forward to with hope and gratitude.
A huge thank you to our Kotdwara staff team for making this very special day possible.
350 Children, One Meal Daily: Inside Our Nutrition program
A standout highlight is that all 350 students at our Kotdwara and Bijnor centres receive a free meal every day. This program is sustained by a dedicated team of cooks (local elderly women and men who require employment) at six locations, and for many of these slum children, this meal is by far the most substantial and nourishing portion of their day. The impact goes beyond sustenance; it supports concentration, attendance, and overall well-being, enabling brighter futures.
If you wish to support our mission, here are the current sponsorship options:
Sponsor a child’s education and meals for one month: $50AUD (approx. $12.50 per week).
Sponsor a cook’s salary for one month: $40AUD.
The Substantial Difference of a Single Meal for Slum Kids
Our long-term goal includes providing meals for 300 students in Punjab. However, this requires about $20,000AUD annually, a figure we need to secure consistently. We invite companies and organisations to partner with us to expand this essential program and ensure reliable meals for every child. Your donation is tax deductible, and every contribution brings us closer to meals, education, and energy for the day for more slum kids.
