Who We Feed Today

100+ at the leper colony
40+ destitutes living on the street
35+ children at a struggling orphanage

Hunger and malnutrition are big problems in India, too big for any one organization or well-intentioned individual to solve. Statistics tell part of the story: 50% of Indian adults and children are undernourished; 25% of India's population go to bed hungry at night. For India, 25% represents over 250 million people.

Walk the streets for the rest of the story. Visible signs of malnutrition and hunger are everywhere. Homeless women beg for their kids' meals, sell their bodies, or cook on the roadside with whatever discarded vegetables they can find.

As we believe that every bit of effort counts, we started Project Food, our effort to provide healthy meals to the destitute and forgotten in an organized, heartfelt, and efficient manner.

We feed the destitute and the forgotten who, because of their situation, are outcast from society, or struggle to provide themselves and their families with a decent, healthy meal.

The weekly all-in cost is approximately US$20.00, which covers our cook's pay (and he's a good cook!), food delivery, ingredients, supplies, and lots of goodwill.

Your support will allow us to expand Project Food to feed other hungry individuals who would greatly appreciate a healthy, nutritious meal.
