FOOD FOR SOUL
🍲 Monthly Ration Sponsorship
(₹7,000 per family for 10 months)
🌟 Lifetime Ration Sponsorship
At our SPRJ Kanyashala Trust’s Semi-English School, 1000+ students are from Below Poverty Line (BPL) families living in Mumbai's slums and chawls, where access to nutritious food is often uncertain. Malnutrition and anemia affect children's health, concentration, and academic performance, increasing the risk of absenteeism and school dropouts.
In many cases, financial hardship forces families to prioritize immediate income over education. Children are often expected to work to contribute to household earnings so that the family can afford basic necessities, including food. As a result, many children are at risk of missing out on their education and future opportunities.
We currently distribute grocery rations to 550 families to help meet their basic nutritional needs. We would like to expand this support to more families, and your contribution can help us reach those who are still in need.
By providing monthly ration support, we encourage families to keep their children in school, enabling them to receive an education, build skills, and create a brighter future rather than being forced in child labour.
Monthly Ration Sponsorship
Families will receive a monthly ration kit containing essential food items to help meet their nutritional needs and support their child's continued education.
Lifetime Ration Sponsorship
Create a lasting impact through a one-time contribution that supports a student's monthly ration expenses from Kindergarten (KG) to Class 10 (approximately 12 years). The interest generated from the corpus fund covers the child's ration support. After the student completes Class 10, another needy child is selected, ensuring continuous support for future generations.

Nutritious Snacks per day
Nutritious Snacks per day
At SPRJ Kanyashala Trust’s Semi-English Medium School, all children belong to low-income and BPL (Below Poverty Line) families, living in slums and chawls across suburban Mumbai, where regular access to nutritious food is uncertain and they struggle to get even one proper nutritious meal a day. Most of these children are anemic and malnourished.
For many children, especially younger students, proper nutrition is essential for growth, learning ability, and overall development. However, due to financial hardship, malnutrition, weakness, and lack of access to healthy food are common challenges. Food plays a crucial role in childhood development, and without it, children struggle with concentration, energy, and classroom participation.
Hence, the trust provides free nutritious snacks to 300 students from pre-primary & class 9 & 10 every day (Class 1 to 8 get free mid-day meal from the Government).
We appeal to Donors to sponsor these nutritious snacks on their special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, death anniversaries, Navratri festival, and wedding days, allowing donors to turn their special events into meaningful celebrations.
This daily snack support ensures that children receive at least one nutritious intake during school hours, helping them stay active, healthy, and ready to learn.

Mini Lunch per day
Mini Lunch per day
At SPRJ Kanyashala Trust’s Junior & Degree colleges, out of 5000 students, more than 70% come from economically weak backgrounds and struggle to afford even basic meals. A large number of students travel long distances from their homes and do not carry tiffin boxes as they leave very early in the morning. They also cannot afford canteen meals. As a result, they remain hungry and often faint during lectures. Hunger can also affect their concentration, memory, cognitive abilities, energy levels, and overall academic performance.
For many of these girls, the mini lunch becomes a highly awaited and comforting part of their day. It not only meets their basic nutritional needs but also gives them relief from the stress of managing daily meals in difficult circumstances.
Therefore, the trust provides mini lunch to 150 most needy students every day.
We appeal to donors to sponsor these mini lunches on their special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, death anniversaries, Navratri, Diwali, Christmas , Ganesh Chaturthi and wedding days, allowing donors to turn their special events into meaningful celebrations.
