There are thousands of non governmentalorganisations in India working
for the betterment of society in numerous ways. One of the most pressing
issues being tackled by these organisations falls within the sphere of child
welfare. There are millions of children across India who struggle for a single
filling meal in a day, who have never set foot in a school, who have never
owned a pair of new shoes in their life, and who have very little hope for
their future. It is to champion these young ones, and to make their dreams a
reality, that many Foundations and Trusts have been created.
The AkshayaPatra Foundation works to nurture the dreams of children across
India by providing them with a daily nutritious mid-day meal. Access to this
daily, wholesome meal ensures that children don’t have to choose between
food and education. With a belly full of food, the children have the energy
and peace of mind to focus on their education and move closer to achieving
their goals. Implementing this programme over such a large scale requires a
great deal of support. Charity donations and fund raising ideas are
crucial for the sustainability of the programme. But through the support of

the Government of India, CSR activities and individuals, the Foundation has
scaled up over the past 15 years.
Being one of the non governmentalorganisations in India that has achieved
great growth, AkshayaPatra today feeds over 1.4 million children across 10,
845 Government schools across the country. In addition to this, the
organisation reaches out to over 150,000 children in over 2,500
Anganwadicentres in India. By providing nutrition to these children across
the age of infancy to high school, as well as pregnant and lactating mothers,
the Foundation has to constantly come up with innovative and engaging fund
raising ideas. The aim of the organisation is to reach out to even more
children and reach 5 million children by 2020. Charity donations in both
large and small amounts all play a huge role in helping the Foundation reach
out to more children.

Often there is the misconception that in order to make a difference by
contributing to NGO in India, one must contribute in large amounts.
However, AkshayaPatra, through its Public Private Partnership model with
the Government of India, has made supporting the cause of food for
education affordable to a large section of society. In fact, for charity
donations of just Rs.750, one child can be fed the wholesome AkshayaPatra
mid-day meal every day for an entire year. Fund raising ideas like have
made supporting the cause of eliminating classroom hunger in India
enjoyable, and an achievable goal for dedicated social workers across the
country. To feed underserved children across India, AkshayaPatra needs the
wholehearted involvement of every interested person. Help the Foundation
achieve its vision that ‘No child in India shall be deprived of education
because of hunger.’ Donate now to the charity to make the underprivileged
children life better.
