Daily Meals Programme Phase XVIII

Posted on | by Wishes and Blessings

Everyone deserves three square meals in a day and no one should sleep on an empty stomach. With this goal in mind, Wishes and Blessings started their Daily Meals Programme in 2015 with 60 beneficiaries. With each phase, we reach out to more people. As of March 2020, under Daily Meals Programme Phase XVIII, we are feeding over 600 people across Delhi/NCR. What makes the programme unique is that hot and nutritious breakfast, lunch and dinner are served to all beneficiaries!

Office intern, Monika shares her outlook on the Daily Meals Programme.

Somehow we are neglecting a very important fact: filled stomachs and a good diet play pivotal roles in human growth. An empty stomach acts as a devil’s playground… People resort to begging, stealing and other crimes to stop the pangs of hunger. Over 212 million people are undernourished in India. There are many programmes to aid the underprivileged in this area, and Wishes and Blessings is doing its part as well.

Saint Mother Theresa said, “If we can’t feed a hundred people, we can feed at least one.” One meal with Wishes and Blessings costs just Rs. 12.22 and to serve 3 meals to one person for one day, it costs only 36.66! With a minimal sponsorship amount of 1,100 a month you can help serve 270 meals to 1 underprivileged person over 30 days. You can help eradicate hunger from our society, fulfil wishes and in return,you can get an abundance of blessings from the beneficiaries.

The programme has many positive impacts which include improved immunity systems as well as an increase in childrens’ enrollment in schools.

Special treats help break the monotony of the meals served under the Daily Meals Programme

I have personally had the food in the centres and I have had the best rajma rice there. The cooks at the centres make sure to maintain proper hygiene and make sure that the food combines the best of nutrition and taste.

The menus are customised according to the beneficiary base, and milk is served everyday along with breakfast.

It is only with the support of like-minded people and people who understand the importance of providing equal opportunities to all that Wishes and Blessings is able to make a difference in the lives of needy people.

Help us make Phase XVIII most memorable for all our beneficiaries and fill their lives with happiness. Lets come together and fight hunger!
