We Provide Unlimited Food For Education
HAPPY
CHILDREN‘S DAY
World Children’s Day was established in 1954 and is celebrated on November 20th
to raise awareness of the plight of underserved children and improve their welfare through
collective action. This day highlights the importance of recognizing issues children face
at a global level, creating thoughtful dialogue and coming together to create a more
hospitable world for children. It is also a call to action for youth to raise their voices on
issues that matter most to their generation, such as climate change, education and
mental health.
Over the course of many years, child rights organizations have expanded their interests
in child welfare to address all the needs of a child. From education, protection, poverty
and basic access to health & nutrition, the efforts are now deeply rooted in addressing
all causes of inequality.
This year’s theme is Inclusion, For Every Child.
Inclusivity is at the heart of what we do at Akshaya Patra. Our goal is to include and empower all children, regardless of gender, caste, religion, or economic status, to achieve their dreams and goals. Our school lunch program provides children with sustained access to nutritious food, consequently reducing food insecurity amongst the most underserved populations in India. We are constantly innovating and redesigning our menus to improve the nutritional value of our meal program.
By providing nutritious meals, we are not only addressing the nutrition gap between the haves & have nots, but we are also providing children with access to obtaining an education and alleviating their families’ concerns over how they may feed their children. Our program incentivizes families to send their children to school and allows children to concentrate in school, thereby providing opportunities to dismantle the cycle of intergenerational poverty.
So this World Children’s Day,
please be an advocate for our children and
help us provide meals and education
to the children.
