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.

ABOUT ME

25 rupees. What can you buy with 25 rupees? Can you eradicate hunger for a person with 25 rupees? The answer is Yes, you can.
Today we stand together in these tough times with a hope that this time will soon pass by quickly. Since we all are able to afford our necessities we are able to somewhat continue our normal lifestyles but have we stopped and thought about someone other than ourselves... someone who can’t afford to go back home safe and sound... one who is finding it hard to get bread on their plate...one who is suffering due to this crisis more than anyone could ever imagine. India is home to some of the world's biggest slums, around 73 million people are living in extreme poverty. In extreme poverty, people find it very hard to even get a roti with a normal sabzi. They fight for a place to call their home under the big blue vast sky, which shows no mercy on them. Life has been even harder for them in this pandemic. Living in an unsanitary place without their daily wage they are finding it very hard. Since India is a large country, it is not possible for the government to provide food for each and every household, and luckily there is a conscious organization that is putting its earnest efforts to bridge the gap of needs. Let us all in this journey hold the hands of the needy and do our bit to society.

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.
