My name is Shivani Tripurani. I am 15 years old and I attend Chirec International School in Hyderabad. I love to express myself through music and poetry, and my hobbies include playing the piano.


Until a few months ago, I never bothered to educate myself on what is happening just miles from my house. Starvation. Hunger. Malnourishment. People are forced to go days without a single meal. And due to the pandemic that has struck, families are unable to support their loved ones. Our world is already fighting against a pandemic, but now we face the risk of a global hunger crisis.


Akshaya Patra is an organisation which is feeding thousands across the country. Their success should not only be encouragement, but validation that the generosity in our country is limitless. Keeping this in mind, I urge everyone to support my campaign so that we can help combat hunger in our nation. This foundation is preparing healthy meals for the poor, ensuring they are receiving a minimum of one meal per day. It is our responsibility to help the underprivileged in any way possible.


It is tragic that millions have to go hungry for days, impacting their health and lifestyle.

But as long as we can use the platforms that we have to create awareness and encourage everyone to use their skills to make a change, completely eradicating hunger doesn't have to be such a far-fetched dream.
