We at The Akshaya Patra Foundation are all set to celebrate our 15 year anniversary on 11 November, 2015. Since the very inception of our programme, we have left no stone unturned in our attempt to transform children’s lives in the face of poverty and hunger. In fact, with your support, we’ve grown from feeding 1500 children to nearly 15 lakh in 15 years! We thank you all for your good wishes and encouragement throughout this journey.

In a country where food insecurity exists and education for many is a distant dream; an effective way to bring a child close to the classroom is a tasty healthy meal. Akshaya Patra’s expertise in nutrition and innovative approach is already helping end classroom hunger for school children from 10,845 Government schools, across 10 states in India daily.

Now as we gear up to celebrate our 15 years of existence, we have come up with a fun packed week of activities to mark this special occasion. Every day from November 04 – November 11, 2015 we’re running exciting and engaging activities. Visit our page and be a part of this fun filled experience and share it on your social media too!

For years families in India have pinned their hopes and dreams on their sons. Carefully raising them, providing every opportunity they can afford and most of all treasuring them. Today the scenario is changing, becoming more balanced. Girls all over the country are being nurtured, educated…acknowledged. And with this change, dreams have been born.

This International Day of the Girl Child, take a moment to look at the outstanding dreams and aspirations of our female beneficiaries. All they needed to come this far was a daily meal, a daily class and a big opportunity. Imagine what a little help from you can do.
