1. Project Description:
Food on your plate is a god-gifted blessing and one of the best feelings in this world. Every meal is
a chance to feel connected to the earth. Everyone has the right to consume good food. Over one
billion people in the world even live today in the unacceptable conditions of poverty and
starvation. One in three children in low- and middle-income families suffers from chronic under
nutrition. Without a sustainable source of income at a sufficient level, young children and their
families do not have access to basic food. Therefore, to support hunger and starvation across our
country, GURUPRASHAD WELFARE FOUNDATION has initiated the idea to distribute food to needy
people. Every year GURUPRASHAD WELFARE FOUNDATION organizes the food distribution
programme for the needy people staying near the premises of dharmashala. Regularly food is
distributed to the inmates of Dharamshala. Food grain kits are distributed to inmates. we would
like to pray to help us with their generous support by getting involved in these sacred tasks of
food distribution.
