About the cause: Food & Water
All efforts are concerted towards providing better food to more people. Through our targeted interventions for child and maternal malnutrition, we are working towards bringing large-scale systemic transformation in the nutrition landscape of India.
Socio-economically underprivileged people are prone and vulnerable to hunger. This section of the society constantly faces the challenge of getting access to food. They don’t know whether or not they will get their next meal. This indicates that hundreds of poor, homeless, and destitute people need immediate food assistance. Hence, we at Step Foundation are distributing meal boxes to the poor and the needy. We ensure that each food box is a nutritious mix of rice, dal, and vegetables so that it not only address hunger, but malnutrition too.
Families and Individuals being homeless without a place to stay is a major issue in India more so in urban cities and towns.
Many such children, old aged and individuals can be found in railway stations, near temples and dargahs, in markets, under bridges, near bus stops among other places. These people lack a stable home or a shelter and many of them sleep in the streets and in the foot paths.
There are a number of factors that push them to living on the street. Of course one of the major cause is poverty.
Daily food, a proper shelter and basic education is a distant dream for these homeless and they end up becoming rag-pickers, hawkers and beggars, while few work in smaller shops and establishments.
They are prone to high health hazards due to unhygienic living conditions and without a proper shelter they are also constantly exposed to environmental conditions of heat, cold and rain.
Your donations can help protect a child, a family or a aged person and bring back their lost smiles. Every individual deserves a life and every child deserves a delightful childhood.
