Dear Friend,
El Shaddai runs "Meals on Wheels" feeding program to feed the daily wage workers, migrant labourers, marginalized families, and needy people on the street and in slums in the major cities of North and South Goa.
The project serves cooked nutritious meals to the needy every day in the major cities of Goa. As per the survey social workers has identified many of the destitute and homeless people and children. Every day these children are suffering from starvation, malnutrition, no shelter, found sleeping on the roads, footpaths, bus stations, railway stations, parks, and community halls in the major cities Goa. Our main goal towards humanity is no one should sleep with an empty stomach under our zero-hunger initiative.
As per the outreach workers report, many of these children and people relocate from one place to another as they don’t have proper houses, living in hurts, or with tarpaulin roofs for the night shelter. By seeing the need, we decided to serve a nutritious diet. Seeing these critical environments, we chose to feed at least 700 people every day including street children. We are feeding 500 children in each of our centers every day. We serve them nutritious meal which includes steamed cooked rice, pickle, mixed vegetable curry, and boiled eggs. We want to feed more people on daily basis. The nutritious meals that we have served, have made them look healthy and they are very pleased for being the pillar in their time of hardships. We thank all the donors and supporters who have extended their hands to carry this great work in serving humanity because of your support there is an almost 10% increase in the number of people and children that we can cater to every day.
