Hunger relief

When the 2020 lockdowns cut off incomes overnight, thousands of families across India had to choose between rent and food. Project Seva began as our rapid relief response, delivering food so no family went hungry during the crisis.

Seva did not stop when the pandemic did. It runs on as an ongoing food-security programme: dry ration and household staples delivered last-mile whenever livelihoods turn unstable. Each kit is packed to the size of the household it reaches, grains and pulses measured to how many mouths it has to feed.

65+ tonnes

of food grains across India since 2020, most of it during the COVID lockdowns. The drives never stopped.

THE NEED

55.6% of Indians could not afford a healthy diet in 2022.

  • Rapid response when livelihoods collapse overnight.

When a family's income disappears overnight, a ration kit keeps a child in school and out of work.

HOW A DRIVE WORKS
01

Need identification

We check need in person, through local volunteers and the families already on our lists, before a single kit is packed.

02

Responsible procurement

Quality checks and budget discipline, so every rupee buys as much real food as it can.

03

Last-mile distribution

Volunteers and logistics carry each kit through to an orderly, respectful handover, placed directly into the family's hands.

04

Follow-ups

We track recurring needs so support lasts beyond a single drive.
