Combating Hunger & Malnutrition in Kerala
Help us end hunger and malnutrition through sustainable food programs in Attapady!
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed life they way we have known it be. One of the areas this pandemic has highlighted is the hunger & exposure among marginalized and under-privileged due to slow down and shut down of the economy. Hence, there is a great need to bring about more self-reliance to their food supplies, while also providing them with nutritious food to enhance their immune systems. This project aims to do both for 100 families, in remote tribal communities of Attapady, in the province of Kerala, India.
How?
Sewa Canada has partnered with the Swami Vivekananda Medical Mission to provide resources and funds to establish vegetable gardens for 100 tribal families. Each garden will cost approximately $70 (CAD); this includes the cost to train families, help them prepare their land, provide suitable seeds, help prepare compost, pest prevention, fencing of their garden, periodical monitoring & evaluation by trained personnel. This is a one time cost per family, with the intent that families will be self-reliant in the subsequent years.
Your donation of $70 will help one tribal family become self-reliant in their fight to stave away hunger, combat malnutrition and fund the support services required for this is Swami Vivekananda Medical Mission. Together we are looking at raising $7000 to better the lives of 100 families. Better nutrition means improved maternal health and better nourished children in these communities.
Any amount will be highly appreciated. Thank you!
All donations will receive a tax receipt and are tax deductible in Canada.
