Success Story

Poor under nourished children generally from Bangalore slums go without mid day meals since their parents are either too poor or do not have time / resources to prepare even a small meal for them. Poor under nourished children generally from Bangalore slums go without mid day meals since their parents are either too poor or do not have time / resources to prepare even a small meal for them. This results in poor performance / health and leads to school drop outs

Our mid day meal commenced in 1987 with just 50 children in one school. Today the total number of children provided with mid day meals is 2200 in 14 schools

Over the years we have observed that the attendance of these children has improved and the drop-out rate has fallen considerably. The success of this programme has been appreciated by the concerned school principals
