What we do

KAFAL provides nutrition input (protein based diet, in addition to their government provided meals) to children of a local government school. It also takes care of other education related needs of these children. It engages with them periodically to discuss local issues. It joins them in celebrating festivals and on special occasions to ensure that they do not feel left out.

KAFAL had begun with the idea of providing educational opportunities and support to children to enable them to grow in an environment similar to that of their more fortunately endowed peers.

A clearer understanding of their needs revealed that inadequate nutrition was a serious problem, mid-day meal notwithstanding. This became Kafal’s initial focus.

The programmed has been running for over three years and teachers report significant improvement in their health and well being as well as their attention span and performance.

Supplemental classes aimed at reinforcing school learning have also been started recently. A program me to promote computer literacy and internet based learning is on the anvil.
