Ek niwala aur
The need
Hunger and malnutrition are persistent issues that affect millions of people in India, particularly in impoverished areas.
The solution
The initiative targets underprivileged families, with a special focus on children and the elderly, ensuring they receive the essential nutrients required for healthy growth and development.
How RFI helps
Rajani Foundation India has been a transformative force in the battle against hunger and malnutrition with its impactful “Ek Niwala Aur” initiative, which translates to “One More Bite”. This program is not only focused on providing nutritious meals to underprivileged communities but has also evolved into a beacon of hope and education for slum children.
Central to the “Ek Niwala Aur” initiative are the community kitchens and food distribution centers established in areas with high poverty and food insecurity. These centers are staffed by dedicated volunteers and foundation members who prepare and distribute wholesome meals daily. The food is carefully planned to meet nutritional standards, offering balanced diets that include proteins, vitamins, and minerals necessary for good health.
Rajani Foundation India exemplifies the power of community-driven efforts to address critical social issues. By providing nutritious meals and transforming feeding centers into learning hubs, the initiative is creating lasting change and fostering a brighter future for underprivileged children. With continued support and collaboration, Ek Niwala Aur will keep making a meaningful difference, one bite and one lesson at a time.
In addition to addressing hunger, the “Ek Niwala Aur” initiative has taken a holistic approach by transforming its feeding centers into learning hubs for slum children. Recognizing that education is a crucial component of long-term development and empowerment, the initiative has integrated educational activities alongside meal distribution.
These learning centers provide a safe and nurturing environment where children from slum areas can gather to receive both nourishment and education. Volunteers and educators conduct regular classes, tutoring sessions, and extracurricular activities aimed at enhancing the children’s academic skills and personal development. Subjects covered include basic literacy and numeracy, science, and arts, as well as life skills and moral education.
