Your donation directly supports meals for children who need them most. Once we receive your contribution, we identify schools serving underprivileged students and assess their infrastructure to choose the right nutrition model. Schools with kitchens receive dry rations to cook fresh meals onsite. Schools without kitchens get connected to nearby kitchens for daily hot meals. We monitor attendance, gather feedback, and visit regularly to ensure every child is fed consistently.
Feeding India facilitates a structured refund process for erroneous contributions, provided the request is submitted in writing within seven working days of the transaction. To initiate a review, donors must email compliance@feedingindia.org with their transaction details, receipt ID, and PAN card copy. All requests are evaluated by our finance team to ensure alignment with FCRA compliance and tax regulations before processing.

For NGOs

We partner with NGOs working directly with children in underserved communities. This includes organizations running schools, anganwadis, childcare centers, and education initiatives for vulnerable children. We collaborate with partners who share our commitment to child nutrition and have the infrastructure to ensure consistent meal delivery. Our partnerships focus on reaching children who need nutritious food support to stay healthy, attend school regularly, and thrive.
We provide nutritious meals to children through our feeding programs, operating in schools and anganwadis across India. Where infrastructure allows, we supply dry ration to school kitchens for preparing fresh meals onsite. In areas without cooking facilities, we partner with nearby kitchens to deliver hot, cooked meals daily. Beyond regular feeding, we respond to emergencies with immediate relief through cooked meals and essential supplies. We also work on anganwadi infrastructure development to strengthen nutrition delivery systems for young children.
