Nowadays, it is very important in the time where people are not getting food to eat , to feed them. During the last decade, food insecurity and malnutrition appear to have contributed to an increasing frequency of crisis events as well as to the vulnerability of countries to shocks. Most of today’s armed conflicts and natural disasters are concentrated in regions heavily dependent on agriculture and in countries with a high proportion of food-insecure household. There are various Non Profit Organizations which work to feed the needy with food.
Jawahar Foundation is the best charity foundations in India which aims to do these and spread awareness for not wasting food and feeding poor ones.
Rajasthan is amongst the most impacted states in terms of deaths due to starvation post-pandemic, even when hygienic and nutritious food is a basic right of the people.
“Hunger is keener than the sword. Hunger is more honed than the sword.”
Jawahar Foundation is working to resolve the problem of food security for the people in our operating areas.
To eradicate hunger in Rajasthan, Jawahar Foundation started a community kitchen by the name Swabhiman Bhoj which serves nutritious & clean meals at Rs 1 to all. Currently operating in Ajmer, Banswara, Bhilwara & Jaipur, we have served close to 2,00,000 meals in the span of just 9 months. This community kitchen is a continuous activity and soon will be operational in other cities of Rajasthan.
Jawahar Foundation follows this moto of Hunger: 1, humanity: 0.
Solutions that Jawahar Foundation follows to achieve the level for zero hunger in country are:
- Sustainable Food
Heifer International is an hunger relief organizations that helps transform agriculture. They fund projects so people can provide food for themselves in a sustainable way.
- Access to Credit
The charitable organization helps people in poor countries to gain access to credit.
- Food Donations
Although ideally it would be better to get the entire world to a place of self-sustainability, it is not something that will happen overnight. In the meantime it is important to lend a helping hand.
- Transitioning
Many families dealing with poverty need help transitioning into a state of self-dependence. 15 Feeds Family is an organization that helps with this transition.
- Urban Farming
Almost one-quarter of undernourished people live in an urban environment. Recently, there has been a big push for urban farming. Urban farming empowers families to gain control over their own food source.
- Access to Education
Education is the best weapon against poverty and hunger. It is especially powerful in underdeveloped countries. Education means better opportunity and more access to income and food. 7. Social Change
This is extremely hard and will not take place overnight. However, many social issues, such as war, pose a fundamental problem to halting world hunger. 8. Government Intervention
Aid to foreign nations needs to be more focused on government intervention, like programs that provide food to mothers and their children in poor areas.9. Empowering Women
There is a direct correlation with hunger and gender inequalities.
- Birth Control Education
High birthrates pose a problem when trying to solve hunger.
