Our Vision is that no child shall be deprived of education because of hunger.

In collaboration with the Central and State governments of India, we are building a movement of people who, working together with compassion and determination, are ensuring that a growing number of disadvantaged children can eat well, make the most of their education, and realise their full potential.
