Hyderabad, Telangana, India
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.
Hi, my name is Ria. I'm a student studying in Stage 9 (CIE) of Chirec International School. I like to read and play tennis and write. I want to join this inititiative for a simple reason - to help.
With this horrendous pandemic, we need to stay home and maintain social distancing to protect ourselves and each other. Now, some of us complain about not being able to order our favourite food from outside, and/or not being able to step outside our house. However, there are some people who don't have food or a house (and sometimes both). I feel compelled to help these people.
I want to join this initiative because I have heard many tragedies about the people and their situation. There are stories of people dying of hunger and thirst, and people who have met with accidents as they've tried to reach home. I would like to do something for these people.
We're all in this together, and we should all support each other, and this is why I want to join this initiative - because I want to make a difference to these people, and help them.
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.
Today, Akshaya Patra is the world’s largest (not-for-profit run) Mid-Day Meal Programme serving wholesome food every school day to over 1.8 million children from 19,039 schools across 12 states & 2 Union territories of India.

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.
