About Our Nutrition Program
Of all the world’s malnourished children, one out of three lives in India. Because of India’s high population, providing jobs to support every citizen is a serious dilemma. Of those with jobs, 35 percent live on less than a dollar a day. It is nearly impossible for them to buy enough food to support a family. The struggle to eat is intensified for orphans, women, and those with disabilities.
The Nutrition Program provides people with their basic need: nourishment. Once a family’s needs are assessed through a needs-based interview , they receive a card that grants them a full day’s portion of food for their whole family. Once all registered families receive their meals, remaining meals are offered to people living on the streets. A program focused on eliminating the distraction of hunger helps people take new steps towards a self-sufficient and financially stable lifestyle.
