Food4India is an initiative set up by Joachim, Eva, Max, Amy, Indra and Mette, a group of students from 5 bilingual VWO at Alfrink College in Zoetermeer, to help our partner school in India, the Jagriti Public School, which is part of the NGO Street Survivors. Jagriti Public School supports education in English to children of very poor rural families in West-Bengal, Murshidabad, close to the border of Bangladesh. Over the years, Alfrink College has supported the Jagriti Public School and through staff visits and student projects the schools have stayed in touch.But during India’s radical COVID-19 shutdown, government measures have caused major unemployment and mass famine in this region. The Jagriti Public School was forced to close, but is now serving as a central hub, buying food supplies in bulk to distribute them across the families even to the most remote areas of West-Bengal using the school busses as transport trucks.Being so closely related to the people in and around the school, we feel called upon to take up responsibility to aid these families in need. Food4India serves as a convenient intermediate platform to spread the message and save these people from starvation. But to do this, we need your help. Street Survivors was already able to provide food to over 700 families through donations, but money to pay for this is running short. Just a small donation of €6,50 is able to support a widow and her child for 15 days and only €3,50 more supports an entire family of 4 with rice, potatoes, lentils, oil, salt and a handful of sanitary items. They need our help.
