 Satiating the Hunger of Underprivileged Children

The RAH Foundation is dedicated to eliminating hunger from the poverty-stricken regions in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. There is no doubt that hunger has become the world's most serious problem that needs to be addressed immediately by anyone who can come up with better solutions for meeting the daily food needs of underprivileged children.

The pleasure of preparing mouth-watering dishes at home, as well as dining out, is enjoyed by most of us.  Due to a scarcity of food, millions of Indians are starving, and they have to sleep empty-handed. A positive point associated with this matter is that hunger issues can be resolved.

We are continuously striving to reduce the disparity between economic and social advancements within the Indian boundaries. It is our responsibility to make sure that hunger-stricken children receive regular meals in order to develop properly and become valuable resources for the upliftment of the nation on a global scale in all spheres.

According to global reports, more than 820 million people around the world suffer from hunger-related problems. According to a study by the World Food Program, one in nine people sleep without a meal on a daily basis. A specific segment of India's population cannot manage three square meals even though the country's growth has been nothing short of remarkable over the last two decades.

As an NGO, we envision a society where nobody goes to bed hungry. It is essential that Indians have access to needed pulses and cereals, know about the importance of healthcare and nutrition, and eat hygienic food in order to live a long and healthy life.
