Mission
We at Feeding Mouths believe that every individual, regardless of circumstance, must have access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food.
The Need
Daily wage workers travel miles from their homes to earn money for survival. Many female construction site workers suffer from malnutrition because they travel miles to come to work, and immediately after their shift gets over, they head back home to cook food for their family, often eating last and not enough. They have long days of laborious work and insufficient nourishment in their bodies.​
Hunger and Malnutrition amongst daily wage workers:
Lack of access to nutritious meals.
Malnourishment causes health issues, reducing productivity.
Health and Wellbeing:
Poor nutrition leads to fatigue and illness.
Affects growth and cognitive development.
Has adverse health effects on the female body
Economic Instability:
Hunger perpetuates poverty.
Social Inequality:
Widens the gap between rich and poor.
Nutritious meals promote social equity.
The Solution
Feeding Mouths service aims to eliminate hunger among daily wage workers who travel long distances for work. A free meal helps them receive the required nutrition for their body and have a stomach full before heading home. It also saves them money and prepares them for another day of hard work. This service offers them essential nourishment, enabling better health and energy for their daily tasks.
