Trivandrum Don Bosco Veedu fed more than 50 children at the shelter. The street children were provided a wholesome and nutritious meal, which they enjoyed. These children are mainly found from streets. They are mainly runaway children and those who were thrown out of their homes. The children who wander around in the streets often starve and are never able to eat tasty food or even fill their tummies. Don Bosco brings them to the shelter and provides all basic necessities for them.
Not all children are born privileged in our society. However, if ample opportunities are given for their growth, they would reach heights. Don Bosco aims to achieve that goal. Don Bosco believes that every child deserves a chance to grow and learn. Providing favourable opportunities for their growth is important.
According to the World Food Programme, “Not only do the consequences of not enough – or the wrong – food cause suffering and poor health, they also slow progress in many other areas of development like education and employment.” Poor and inadequate nutrition also leaves children vulnerable to diseases and illness, and can cause stunted growth.
While one side of the world lives with a lot of privileges, another side lives in absolute poverty. They are deprived of their wants and the pandemic made things much worse for them with irregular wages. These children have very limited resources to meet their basic requirements.
For them, Don Bosco Nivas raised a helping hand and fed 60 Children who were malnourished. We focused on the underprivileged, weak, runaway and street children who needed our support. We provided them the nutritious and adequate food one can have for the day to overcome their hunger. We hope to continue our works in the future and provide for those who are facing the scarcity of food.
Don Bosco Nivas strives for the welfare of the Children in Need of Care and Protection. The organisation has been rescuing children from streets to give them a childhood they deserve rather than be exploited and neglected by the mainstream society. Through our efficient and effective services for children, we proudly claim that the children are no more at risk at present. The children rescued from streets are malnourished and deficient.
Don Bosco Nivas, with the help of kind-hearted and generous donors from GlobalGiving platform, was able to provide them with good quality food and nutrition throughout the year. We provide high-quality, nutrient-dense meals to boost their immunity and aid their growth and increase their immunity.
The nutrition menu has been revised for the children as per the fund recieved through the donors of GlobalGiving.
