You have the power to feed a starving family, right from the comforts of your home!
Akshaya Patra has been aiding the Government’s efforts by providing food relief to vulnerable communities, such as migrant labourers and homeless people. The Foundation is doing this through its network of kitchens and delivery vehicles, working closely with the Government of India, State Governments and other civic administrations across the country. But we still have a long way to go if we are to ensure that every vulnerable community gets the help they need to survive this crisis.
Funds from this campaign will be utilized across Telangana.
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.
THE AKSHAYA PATRA TEAM IN ACTION
ABOUT ME
My name is Garv Gulati I am 16 years old and a Grade 11student at Chirec International School.
Volunteering and being a part of a community service activity has always meant an integral part of my life. I feel community service is the act of helping people through any form or service for the betterment of unprivileged people.Giving to others can also help protect your mental and physical health. It can reduce stress, combat depression, keep you mentally stimulated, and provide a sense of purpose. While it’s true that the more you volunteer, the more benefits you’ll experience, volunteering doesn’t have to involve a long-term commitment or take a huge amount of time out of your busy day. Giving in even simple ways can help those in need and improve your health and happiness.
Today, we are living in a world with COVID-19 and the number of cases are proliferating. It has predominantly impacted underprivileged people and migrating workers who cannot afford a basic economic and social wellbeing. They need our help, India works with society as a whole. We have always learnt from our culture and traditions that service should be our priority and at today's stance, we need it the most. it is not always about us. We have to learn to live with COVID as this pandemic is not going anytime soon.
I feel that my campaign plays an important role to help the society. I will be working with Akshay Patra which is an organisation known to give the underprivileged nutritious food and meals. This is what we have to do and Akshay Patra has been doing it at a gigantic scale. It is time that we all unite and help the society. If we think about the the needy people, there will be survival and survival will lead to a more elated and advanced society. Please show your help as a small amount can lead to a big change. Mahatma Gandhi Ji once said,"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others."

How does crowdfunding work?
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.
