Hope all of you are safe and healthy during these trying times. Welcome to our opportunity to cast a pebble into the ocean.
Dark clouds ahead.
Covid19 has devastated the globe, not just as a health crisis, but also through its economic impacts, loss of jobs, and setting much of the world back by decades in terms of growth. It's also causing a global hunger crisis.
Nowhere is that more relevant than in India. You may already know that fifteen percent of the Indian population every night sleeps hungry. 194 million Indians are undernourished. Recently out of 117 countries, India ranked at 104 at the Global Hunger Index.
Now imagine the problem has become exponentially greater due to the country’s complete lockdown, lack of proper food distribution, challenged government assistance, and at times racial or religious bias. Not just for the extremely poor, but also for the working class who is now faced with no income and little to no savings. Rickshaw drivers, cooks, cleaners, construction workers, restaurant workers, grocery resellers – and so many more service industry workers, now forced to live off pennies a day, barely able to keep their family fed. All the while praying that their world returns to the normalcy they had – just to be able to earn. What’s really concerning is the sentiment amongst India's poorest who fear hunger may kill them before coronavirus will.
Offering a glimmer of hope.
We’ve personally heard these stories and are gutted we can’t be there to help. So we’ve decided to something about it and are now sharing the opportunity to be a part of our solution – with you. Together we're going to inject a bit of hope to those that desperately need it.
While alone we can’t solve the hunger problem for the world, we can have an impact in cities like our hometown of Ahmedabad, where we have trusted resources on the ground, personally committed to making a difference.
Small pebbles, big impacts.
To help, we’ve started two projects, one designed to help address the immediate need to put cooked food on the plate each night, and the other to provide dire monthly food supplies to families.
You can decide to send a lifeline in this perilous time to either or both.
1. Community Kitchen
Complete, fresh, hot, nourishing meals are cooked each night that provide those in need a way to address challenges of finding a nightly meal.
Your $200 goes towards feeding a community of 500. Imagine that.
2. Monthly Meal Kits
A monthly supply of fundamental ingredients is packaged and distributed to families in the community. This package contains rice, 2 lentils, oil, flour, sugar, salt, tea, and spices. A huge care package for those that are not able to shop, have little or no funds for spare or are struggling with sickness.
Each Meal Kit costs $50 to support a family for a month of supplies. That’s one month of not having to worry about having food to put on the plate.
The time to have an impact is now. The pandemic is not easing and we must not also.
