As another remarkable year comes to a close, we reflect with gratitude on a year of incredible progress, learning and opportunities that we experienced this year.
The year 2024 has been a landmark year for us, not just because we entered our 10th anniversary this year, but also because we saw some concrete results of our efforts in remote rural pockets.
The most impactful intervention of 2024 would most certainly be our “Mother and Child Nutrition Project” that has helped nearly 1,000 participating mothers get access to quality nutrition, pregnancy and post-pregnancy care. This project, implemented in 64 locations is driven and led solely by women leaders in the villages. Most of these locations are cutoff from the mainstream where women have limited healthcare access. A short documentary on the maternal and child nutrition project can be viewed here.
Another landmark program that we launched this year and that will guide our efforts through the coming years is the “hunger-free village” initiative in the rural communities. Using various participatory community mapping tools, villagers identified their priorities, challenges and opportunities to become sustainably food secure.
Hunger and malnutrition in different forms continue to affect millions of people, especially women, children and those who are in resource-constraint environments. In 2025, Rise Against Hunger India resolves to explore new frontiers in empowering communities to become nutritionally resilient and self-reliant.
Continued support from donors, CSR partners, volunteers, NGOs and well-wishers has been instrumental in Rise Against Hunger India sustaining the hunger-free movement. With deep gratitude and thanks, we wish everyone a joyful holiday season and a happy new year 2025!
