We All Have A Strength To Share
All children deserve to live free from hunger and poverty. We’re going to make that happen. It’s a big job, but we’re not alone. We believe that everyone has a strength to share.
Largest child hunger organization in the US that reduced child hunger in America by a third through a combination of grants, policy change and the famous No Kid Hungry campaign.
In India – since 2020, through a growing network of world-class partners we fund school breakfast and midday meals programs expanding the government’s massive effort across the country. We invite you to learn more about how we are amplifying existing community solutions with the aim to add a million kids to India’s school feeding program in the next three years.
What a wonderful visit we had bearing witness to hundreds of school children who receive a healthy midday meal from our partner Annamrita. These happy and healthy faces say it all!

Join The Fight Against Childhood Hunger With Feed The Future Now!

Our Current
Program Partners
The Akshaya Patra Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation headquartered in Bengaluru, India. The Foundation strives to eliminate classroom hunger by implementing the Mid-Day Meal Programme. It provides nutritious meals to children studying in Government schools and Government-aided schools. Akshaya Patra also aims to counter malnutrition and support right to education of children hailing from socio-economically challenging backgrounds.
LBP belives in working as a catalyst for sustainable change within the community through healthcare, education and environmental awareness, built on a 45 years of strong symbiotic relationship.
The Breakfast Revolution is specifically created to combat the epidemic of hunger and malnutrition in India. TBR did considerable research to develop, manufacture, and distribute inexpensive but tasty, FSSAI (Indian-FDA) approved products, to provide children with the minimum daily requirements of all essential nutrients in a single breakfast meal.
At Annamrita, our beliefs are based on the same thought process of how the intake of any food grants the eater not only with nutritious and strength, but also offers him values of culture and of partaking in the divine, for which he strives in his innermost self.
Sri Sathya Sai Annapoorna Trust has been running one of India’s leading morning nutrition programme for rural school children working at the grass roots level in the area of child nutrition security and “hidden hunger” management. The morning nutrition is served in the form of either the “SaiSure” nutrition health mix presented with milk, or Ragi Wholesome Cereal Drink, or cooked breakfast or any other available food items.
