Educate Children by Donating food with Bal Shiksha Ahara Program
It’s not just plants that require sufficient nutrients in order to be able to grow properly. Children need nourishment along with love and to prosper and unlock their potential. Empty tummy, empty head. If the brain is not supplied with sufficient nutrients, then the child’s health is affected. The ability to learn is therefore compromised. And, by extension, children's education is endangered. Lack of nutrients can lead to reduced focus and brain function. The more essential nutrients you have in you, the more energy you will have for brain function. If your brain isn't getting enough blood flow to it, it will have to work harder, and it will also work slower. Join us to fill up empty stomachs by providing food for children and help these young minds flourish better. A child needs all essential nutrients to grow with good health and access to good education. Akshaya Chaitanya, as an NGO in Mumbai working for children’s health and education ensures that children in slums and municipal schools get nutritious breakfast and lunch meals to be able to grow well and stay healthy.
Bal Shiksha Ahara is a free breakfast feeding program primarily concentrated on providing hot and nutritious breakfast meals to the underprivileged children of Municipal Schools in Mumbai across diverse mediums like English, Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati and Urdu.
Providing access to nutritious food which will go beyond nutrition, School breakfast Program will aid in the enrichment of the underprivileged children fostering optimal growth and development.
Pausthik Ahara program is a free lunch feeding program to serve slum children studying under meals on wheels initiative. The objective to feed the slum kids studying on the streets is to reduce child labour and promote child education by ensuring food security for better child health.
Empty stomachs crave for food and not knowledge. By serving food for children in municipal schools and slums of Mumbai, we hope to fight child labour and provide equal opportunities for them to grow, learn and work in the society. This basic need of going to study with a full stomach is a dream for the children studying in Government schools. Amongst all the NGOs for children, Akshaya Chaitanya is working
tirelessly to feed children across 102 schools in Mumbai. Almost 8000 children are fed daily with hot breakfast meals through the Bal Shiksha Ahara feeding initiative with a dream to ensure that there is food for every child studying in a municipal school. Only good education can help secure and transform the future of these children. And in order to gain good education, good food and nutrition is the basic need for a child’s health. We, at Akshaya Chaitanya, are happy to make this dream a reality by serving nutritious and healthy breakfast meals to the children so that they can focus on acquiring knowledge which will help them open up many possibilities to lead their respective lives To donate breakfast meals, visit www.akshayachaitanya.org/donate and join us as we work towards achieving zero classroom hunger in Mumbai.
