#Food For Education
“No child in India
shall be deprived
of education
because of hunger”
The Problem
27% of the world's malnourished children live in India - more than anywhere else
India has the largest number of child labourers in the world at 17%
30.7% of children under five in India are underweight
3,000 children die every day from poor diet related diseases
About 8.1 million
children are
out of school

... they are doing
menial jobs, thus
missing out the
benefits of
education
Education is the single most powerful
factor to take an entire family out of
the cycle of poverty
Education can - within one
generation - significantly
improve the quality of life
