Mid Day Meal & Education - A Ray of Hope

By Praveen Kumar | Project Leader

Mid-day meal program at Apne Aap centre
Mid-day meal program at Apne Aap centre

On the occasion of the Holi festival, we organized a festival celebration program for the children in our Bihar Center. About 50 of children were present in this program and they were having lots of fun celebrating Holi by applying abir gulal to each other. A feast was also organized for the children there. Food was served to all the children.

Among these children was an 8 years old girl named Kajal (name changed). Her parents are very poor; there are 5 members in her family; her father drives a rickshaw and it is very difficult to arrange two meals a day for the family. Kajal comes Apne Aap organization’s center to study along with her younger brother and here she gets enough food every day. Kajal became very happy after eating the food.

Like Kajal, these are 50 children whose families are so poor that they are not even able to get two proper meals a day.

Stories like Kajals have defined our last three months. Every day, we serve fresh meals to 50 children at the center—plates filled with rice, dal, vegetables, puri, and kheer, dishes that nurtured both their health and their spirits. In this quarter alone, we delivered 972 ration kits to families across Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, and other states, reaching 4,860 individuals, including 1,944 women and 2,916 children. Each kit was packed with essentials to ensure families could face their days with strength and hope. Since the program began, we have shared 14,965,600 meals, touching countless lives.

Fostering Cheer and Change

  • Education We distributed computers to four girls pursuing higher studies and provided monthly school supplies to keep children on track academically> also enrolled 13 children in private school and 22 children in Govt. school in Bihar. In other places we have enrolled 11 more children for higher studies in different schools and colleges.
  • Health Our team facilitated hospital referrals, ensuring critical care for women and children in need. A medical team from govt. hospital visited the community weekly and resolves the health issues for the women and children.
  • Housing In Bihar, families affected by floods every year rebuilt their homes with our support, reclaiming safety and stability.

Help us reach even more families in need this holiday season Every meal counts and every contribution makes a difference.
