Feed Food, Seed Love

Organization Overview

• Objective: A grassroots, volunteer-based organization focused on hunger relief, education support, and healthcare in rural areas to uplift the lives of disadvantaged communities.

Project ArutKalvi

Objective: To support small, local organizations (Sanmarga sangams) and individuals dedicated to alleviating hunger in rural villages by providing nutritious, herbal Kanji (a porridge made from broken rice, spices, and herbs).

Key Beneficiaries

1. Elderly People: Those who lack the means to support themselves and face hunger.
2. Women and Children: Especially those affected by domestic violence. By providing food, your organization aims to help them avoid being marginalized.
3. Patients and Their Relatives: Individuals receiving treatment at government hospitals, many of whom may struggle to access nutritious meals.
4. Migrant Workers: Often overlooked, these workers are provided with sustenance during their hard labor in rural areas.

Actions Taken

• Monthly Fundraising: Funds are raised each month to procure key ingredients for Kanji, including rice, cumin, pepper, fenugreek, turmeric, and lentils.
• Distribution: These ingredients are bought wholesale and distributed to various rural locations where the meals are prepared and served to those in need.

Project ArutKalvi

• Objective: To empower first-generation students in their pursuit of higher education after high school through scholarships, mentorship, and training.
• Key Features:
  • Scholarships: Providing financial support to students who otherwise would not have access to higher education.
  • Mentoring: Connecting students with mentors who can guide them through the academic and personal challenges of higher education.
  • Training: Offering essential skills, such as study techniques, time management, and personal development, to ensure the students’ success in their studies.
  • Community Building: ArutKalvi also fosters a thriving platform where students can connect with each other, share experiences, and form lifelong bonds. This network of support helps build a community aligned with the vision of ArutKudumbam, creating a cycle of continued empowerment and inspiration for future generations.

Project ArulNalam

• Objective: To provide support for healthcare needs within the communities served by your organization.
• Scope: This project focuses on improving healthcare access and addressing health-related challenges in rural and underserved areas, ensuring that people have access to the medical support they need to live healthier lives.

Together, ArutKanji, ArutKalvi, and ArulNalam are forming a comprehensive approach to community upliftment—combining basic needs like nutrition and healthcare with educational empowerment to create long-lasting positive change.
