Vegan Meals for the Poor

This programme, which began the 1st of January 2010, has successfully become more popular and demanding as the days go by. The plan now covers more than 40 members.

A wholesome and nutritious vegan meal is hygienically packed in palm leaves and provided by autorickshaw to the poorest of the poor in their respective places. We have selected Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays for meal delivery. as these are the days that they will not have any means of procuring food of any kind from other charities. Most of thee people are also disabled, which requires us to go to them.

Every one of them has a trusted association with a street dog. They give the first morsel of food to the dog that comes at that time to get their first share. Both the poor person and the street dog have both overcome loneliness in having each other as companions.

In reality that they are seeking each others company to strike a bond of love and affection after being abandoned by their own society and now building a relationship of life. For every form is a life that can be understood, felt, and acknowledged ... a life is a life and is not related to physical appearance.

We have started this programme with the kind and wonderful support of our patron Mr. Phil Wollen through his Kindness Trust in Australia. Your kind donation will help us continue and expand this program.
