Our impact
Fifteen years of showing up, one village at a time.
We started with a single kitchen in a Bahraich school. Today the same idea feeds, teaches and heals in eleven states, run by local staff who live where they work.
Every figure here is counted by our field teams and checked in our annual audit.

Stories from the ground
The people your gift reaches have names.
I used to leave school at noon because I was hungry. Now I stay for the last class, and I want to be a teacher.

The tank is ten minutes away now. My daughters spend that morning in class, not carrying water.
Savitri Devi, 38 · Barmer, Rajasthan · Safe water
