Hunger - World • Every year, 20 million deaths across the world are caused by hunger. • World-wide, out of every four people who die of hunger, three are children. • Over 1 billion people – almost a fifth of the world’s population are undernourished.
Hunger - India • India has the largest number of hungry people in the world. • One-third of the world's 860 million hungry people are Indian. • 49 per cent of rural Indian children are malnourished.
The Burning Problem • 7,000 people die of hunger every day in India. • One-third of our countrymen go to bed hungry every night. • For the poor in India, hunger has become a way of life.
Motivation • A developed India must have no hunger - all other strides are but superficial. • It is time we did something about the hunger and poverty situation in India
Annam • A unique feeding and skill building programme that addresses the hunger problem. • Everyday 100-150 people are fed at our centre in Kakinada, AP. • The vision: Have 40 centres across India, serving 2,500 people per centre, i.e. 1,00,000 people everyday.
Feeding • The feeding is done very professionally, and with love and seeks to restore human dignity. • Children, aged, handicapped and other destitute people are served. • People of all caste, creed and religion are fed.
Skill Building • Srishti seeks not only to feed but also to rehabilitate. • Counseling and life skills are given to all those who come. • Skill-building is done to enable them to earn their livelihoods.
Achievements • First steps • Five people have been given permanent employment. • Drinking has been significantly lowered among those fed. • Many children are off the streets and back in school. • 200 people are being trained for employment in Hyderabad.
