Honour someone you love & make them last forever

by Akshaya Patra NGO in India - Akshaya Patra

Memories make a loved one eternal. By recollecting past situations, one can travel back in time and relive those moments. As George W. Douglas rightly said, “Each happiness of yesterday is a memory for tomorrow.”

Beyond materialistic things is where memories persist, it lies in happiness, in doing good to others and in helping someone lead a better life. You can make today memorable by improving the health status of children. The Akshaya Patra Foundation is an NGO that feeds unlimited food for education to children from challenging socio-economic backgrounds. Donate in honour of someone you love unconditionally by providing children in need with much-required wholesome meals.

The onus of improving the health of children lies in people who consider the young generation to be the driving force of the future. Akshaya Patra recognises the ability in children and feeds them mid-day meals by implementing the Government’s Mid-Day Meal Scheme. As per the nutritional guidelines laid down by the MHRD, every child in every Government and Government-assisted school will receive free healthy meals with a minimum content of 300 calories and 8-12g of protein for each day of school.

Impact of your choice to honour someone by supporting Mid-Day Meal Scheme

When you support school meals, it creates an everlasting impact on children.

·         Healthy school meals improve the nutritional status of children. One complete meal a day helps in their physical development.

·         Wholesome meals become the reason why children regularly attend school. If it was not for the free meals, children would have been forced to choose to work than be educated.

·         Children show an improvement in concentration capacity and ability to focus for long hours during school hours.

·         Nutritious school meals become the reason why children prefer coming back to school every day. Thus, improving school retention rates.

Due to all the above reasons, there is a stark improvement in children’s academic performance. In the long run, children become sharper and quick learners to grasp new concepts in learning too. In a nutshell, you help in creating a resourceful generation.
