Turn Hunger into Hope with Every Meal

Summary

When Nadia’s (name changed) family moved to Ahmedabad in search of a better future, they found a place to stay in a labour colony provided by the builder. While this gave them a roof over their heads and a sense of community, it didn’t shield them from deeper struggles. Her parents worked long hours at the construction site, leaving her alone for most of the day, with no school, no care, and barely enough food. Hunger weakened her, making even the simplest joys of childhood feel distant.

For children of migrant workers, hunger isn’t just about food—it keeps them out of school, drains their energy, and locks them in a cycle of poverty. That’s why INDIAdonates onground partner Saath Charitable Trust established Child-Friendly Spaces (CFS)—safe havens within labour colonies that not only provide nutritious meals but also act as bridge schools, preparing children for formal education.

For the first time in months, Nadia had a full plate of warm food. The meals at CFS didn’t just fill her stomach; they gave her the strength to hold a pencil, focus in class, and dream of a future beyond the construction site. A simple meal became her first step toward a brighter tomorrow.

Since 2008, Saath Charitable Trust has supported over 10,000 children through CFS centers across Gujarat and Rajasthan. Today, over 200 children in Ahmedabad rely on these centers for their daily meals and education.

Yet, thousands more still go to bed hungry. Their parents work tirelessly to build homes for others while struggling to secure their own children’s future. Without proper nutrition, these children remain trapped—too hungry to learn, too weak to grow, too invisible to matter.

With just ₹600, you can provide a child with nutritious meals for an entire month. Your support ensures that no child at CFS has to study on an empty stomach or suffer in silence.

Your kindness can turn hunger into hope and give them a real shot at education.
