CAMPAIGN TEAM
You have the power to feed a starving family, right from the comforts of your home!
The meals are cooked in Akshaya Patra kitchens and the last mile distribution is done by the local authorities- govt and civic body teams. The cost per meal is just INR 25. So if you fund INR 2500 you fund 100 meals. The meals are typically rice and dalma ( dal and vegetables) or Veg khichdi. They also provide a bottle of water with each meal.
My name is Abhiram A. I am a Grade 10 student at chirec.
The covid-19 pandemic has disturbed the lives of each and everyone on the Earth from the richest to poorest and southernmost to northernmost. Perhaps the most affected are the poor people who were once able to have one meal a day but now this is just a dream.
Thanks to those kind people who are helping these underprivileged people in such hardships. These hard times can only be compared with the World War I & II but now by god's grace, I have a chance to do my part being a responsible citizen. I am confident that this deadly pandemic will end soon but the only thing that matters is the memories that people would carry over the upcoming years..
The Akshaya Patra Foundation is headquartered in Bengaluru. The organization strives to eliminate classroom hunger by implementing the Mid-Day Meal Scheme in government schools and government-aided schools. Alongside, Akshaya Patra also aims at countering malnutrition and supporting the right to education of socio-economically disadvantaged children.
Since 2000, Akshaya Patra has been concerting all its efforts towards providing fresh and nutritious meals to children on every single school day. And are continuously leveraging technology to multiply our reach. The state-of-the-art kitchens have become a subject of study and have attracted curious visitors from around the world.

Crowdfunding in India is a relatively new concept & is growing very quickly.
It’s a concept that allows a large number of funders (like you) to fund an idea or a cause or event by giving small amounts of money online. Fueladream.com is a crowdfunding platform in India that allows for such pooling of funds. You can fund innovations & ideas on FuelADream and be the first to get these products or make them come true. You can also do a good turn by funding charities and causes through crowdfunding. When you fund a charity it’s more like a donation & you get small innovative rewards like a shout-out on an FB page or a thank you email from the beneficiaries.
