Why donate online on Independence Day?

India became Independent in 1947 but not everybody is independent in India, our country is still on a very high scale of the Hunger Index (111th out of 125 countries) and if we don’t do anything about it, nobody will.

Mumbai, being the financial capital of the country contributes majorly in the overall development. 9 millions out of 22 million population of Mumbai lives in slums & around 60% of the household are severely insecure.

Health & education are 2 major cornerstones for holistic progress of a country.

As an NGO based in Mumbai, we at Akshaya Chaitanya, are on a mission to foster quality healthcare & education for the underprivileged through the power of nutritious meals. Our vision is to make this city, in fact, this country hunger-free.

On this 77th Independence day, we aim to free people from hunger, so they can focus on their health and education to help India reach its maximum potential.

Your donation can help us open doors of opportunities for the less privileged amongst us.
