We are delighted to report the success of the initiative taken by ISKCON Prayagraj to help the poor and orphans.
As a part of our national project, "Food for Life", our team at ISKCON India is supporting the local orphanages in feeding the much-needed nutritious food to orphanage kids and nearby villagers in the city of Varanasi, India.
Being a non-profit organization, the only source of revenue for the orphanage is donations from local people. During this time of difficulty, the contributions to the orphanage have drastically declined, thus putting the children, staff & the nearby villagers in urgent need of support.
The orphanage has 55 children, teachers & employees who are entirely dependent on the orphanage for their food, shelter, clothing, and other needs.
Last quarter, We provided 250 kg of grains in the orphanage. We are also providing nutritious food to them regularly.
Along with our support to the orphanage this time, we went the extra mile. We started an initiative to teach poor children in slums and villages.
In Prayagraj we are helping to teach 25+ beggar children along with providing sumptuous healthy meals.
Due to COVID-19, schools are closed for more than a year, and children are bereft of their studies and forgetting their lessons learned. We went, connected, provided them stationaries, and taught poor children of nearby slums and villages. We taught 100+ new children last year.
We are very thankful for all our generous donors, brave volunteers, and local administration for their valuable support when all needed you in this time of dire need.
At Last, we request you to visit and share our other initiatives with your family and friends. It helps us reach more people and grow.
