Shweta’s story

Shweta lives in Dharavi with her parents and three siblings. Her father works odd jobs and her mother takes on daily tasks, but income is uncertain. With no breakfast at home, the school meal she receives through Akshaya Chaitanya is often her first meal of the day.

✦ A school meal is more than nourishment.

For Shweta, it brings strength to learn and hope to keep dreaming of becoming a doctor.
