Satya Priya enjoys going to school

Dear Kyle,

Most of the rural children are undernourished because they eat poor quality food due to ignorance coupled with poverty. Because of their malnutrition most of the children are not alert and poor in their studies. Many children are also anemic and susceptible to frequent infections resulting in absenteeism from school. Hence this became a vicious circle where a child who is backward in education lagging behind education because of his ill health due to lack of balanced food. To counteract that condition Sankurathri Foundation provides all children with nutritious lunch comprised of lentils, green leafy vegetables, rice and clarified butter. They also use fortified salt with Iodine and Iron to improve their general health. This lunch is supplanted by a glass of milk in the afternoon. With this nutrition supplements children are very healthy and also performing well in their education.

Satya Priya is the first  child of a daily wage earner, Anjaneyulu from Thimmapuram village. She is studying  Grade 2 in Sarada Vidyalayam. His daily income is $3 and he doesn’t have the work on all days. With that income he is struggling to maintain his family, mother, wife and two children.

Your donation, Kyle, will ensure that Satya Priya is given nutritional food for an entire year, so she can continue remaining healthy and happy.
