SERUDS Charity For Food Programs:Â
Donate Money For Food For elders:-
We run a program named Midday Meal where we serve some elderly women who have no one to look after, who are abandoned by their families. There are 30 of them and your Rs.2750 can serve them a hot meal once.
Donate Money for Food For children:-
At SERUDS, there are 80 children between the age of 1-6 who have very poor family backgrounds where both parents are working to make both ends meet, so we take care of them under the program “Day Care Centers” where we provide them with mid-day meals, snacks and pre-school education.
Your Role in Supporting Charity Programs for Food & Shelter:
We as humans are very ungrateful for the luxuries we have. In your budget of a luxurious restaurant trip, you can feed 30 women and many children a very nutritious meal and make some good deeds for yourself.
