The Akshaya Patra Foundation USA

Mission

Akshaya Patra Foundation is the world's most extensive NGO school meal program, providing hot, nutritious lunches to over 2.2 million children across 24,000 schools across India daily. The organization's vision is to ensure that no child is deprived of education because of hunger. Many of the children the organization serves come from low-income families who cannot afford necessities such as vegetables, grains, and milk. The program ensures that the children get a balanced and nutritious meal in school, giving them the energy and nourishment they need to focus and learn in the classroom. As little as $20 can feed a child for an entire school year. This is made possible by the automated, high-capacity kitchen infrastructure where food is produced hygienically with minimal human touch.
