Challenge

With empty stomachs, it's impossible for children to concentrate on academics and other pursuits of their choice. Since education is the only weapon for the children to fight poverty, providing healthy food is of great importance.

The dinner includes Cooked Rice, Rotis, Vegetable Curry, Sambar, Curd. The menu is designed by a nutritionist and provides health and taste to the children. On Sundays, children enjoy a special breakfast as well as lunch and dinner.
