๐Ÿ“– Our Story

Hunger is the number one reason children in India cannot concentrate at school or drop out entirely. Studies show that a nutritious mid-day meal improves attendance by 30%, reduces drop-out rates by 40%, and dramatically improves learning outcomes.

Najmafoundation runs community kitchens at 9 schools, serving a hot, balanced meal โ€” rice, dal, vegetables, and a fruit โ€” to over 2,200 children every school day. The meals are cooked by local women's self-help groups, creating livelihood opportunities in the same communities we serve.

For โ‚น35 per day you feed one child. For โ‚น700 you feed a child for an entire month. Your meal today keeps a child in school tomorrow.
