Support for Mid-day Meal to 85 working children

Dear Esteemed Patrons,

Greetings to you from Health Education Adoption Rehabilitation Development Society (HEARDS) - India!

I hope and wish you were fine and safe there.  Children are going through hard phases in their life because of continuous school shutdown due to COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. Most of the children are not having 3 square meal a day. Due to this, most of the children are severely affected with malnutrition. The corona virus pandemic is driving up food insecurity among children. The nutritional status and resistance to infection have a strong relation and is important to address in children. Malnutrition tends to aggravate the risk to infections and vice-versa by decreasing appetite. India grapples with malnutrition despite program commitments like Integrated Child Development Services and Mid-Day Meal Scheme. 

Their educational standard has come to a standstill. There are no online classes for these children. Most of these children parents are illiterates. Therefore, there is a inevitable need to educate after-school downtrodden children. However, this program can be carried forward only through the support of valuable donors like you. So please keep supporting us in order to bring the children back their educational standards.

“Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, being able to spread out and have more support towards supporting towards mid-day meal for children has become essential. These donations will assist us with maintaining those expenses and making sure that the HEARDS children especially girls can learn, eat, and be active as safely as possible.”

With gratitude,
