Dear Patron,
Greetings from El Shaddai Charitable Trust. We bring to you our latest report on “Food Relief service – End Hunger by feeding a child”.
In India, poverty and hunger remain pervasive problems affecting millions of people. India has one of the highest rates of child malnutrition in the world.
El Shaddai provides free food to the underprivileged children and communities to eradicate hunger, feed the hungry, reduce malnutrition, and ensure that no child goes to sleep on an empty stomach.
Every day we have our mid-day meal program where we distribute hot, nutritious and fresh food to poor, needy & hungry children in different parts of Goa. We feed a total of 700 underprivileged children each day. These nutritious meals are distributed in the homes, shelters, slums and schools so that the children will be able to grow, learn and transform their lives to a better one.
We at El Shaddai believe that the intake of food not only sustains a person, it also paves a way for a healthy future. We strive to deliver nutritious meals to children and communities who need it the most.
The El Shaddai mission is to nourish lives, empower communities, respond to emergencies and build a strong movement towards ending hunger.
There is a beautiful story of a boy named Akhil(name changed). He came to Goa with his family last year. His father thought this would be good place to find work and support his family. But his father was not able to get work and often the family went to sleep on an empty stomach. Sometimes the neighbors would give their leftovers to them. The mother was not happy with the state of the house and left her family and went away. The children suffered the most. But to their good fortune they came across the El Shaddai staff who lead them to our shelters where they were provided with nutritious meals and were also enrolled in school. There are so many children like these who are just seeking for a helping hand.
We are grateful to all our sponsors, donors, well-wishers for supporting us with your donations and your continuous love and support which enables us to transform children lives to a better one.
with gratitude,
Sincerely
El Shaddai family
