Khichdi Distribution
खिचड़ी वितरण
Hot, freshly cooked khichdi served every day at Thakur Village Centre and every Sunday at Samta Nagar and Asha Nagar.
Our Work
Three distribution centres, five ongoing programmes, and a schedule that does not pause.
What We Do
Work that happens whether or not anyone is watching
Everything below runs on a schedule. The khichdi is cooked whether it rains or not. The raincoats are bought before the monsoon rather than during it. The notebooks are ordered before the school year starts.
We are a small organisation and we work in one city. That is deliberate. It means the people handing out the food are the same people who cooked it, and the volunteer who packs a stationery kit often hands it over themselves.
Where and When
Our Distribution Centres
Three centres across Mumbai, with more planned.
Thakur Village Centre
Meals distributed every day. Our first and busiest centre.
Samta Nagar Centre
Meals distributed every Sunday.
Asha Nagar Centre
Meals distributed every Sunday.
More centres planned
We intend to open further khichdi distribution centres in the coming years.
Our Social Work
Five Ongoing Programmes
Each one grew out of something we saw at a distribution centre.
Books & Stationery
पुस्तक एवं लेखन सामग्री
Notebooks, books, pens and complete stationery kits so children from low-income families can keep learning with dignity.
Raincoat Distribution
रेनकोट वितरण
Raincoats handed out before the Mumbai monsoon, so a wet season does not become a lost school term.
Blanket Distribution
कंबल वितरण
Warm blankets distributed through the colder months to families and individuals sleeping without shelter.
Grocery Kits
राशन किट
Staple ration kits for families who need to cook at home rather than queue for a meal.
Education Support
Supporting Education, One Book at a Time
Each year we distribute books, notebooks and stationery kits to children from low-income families. By doing so, we help them stay motivated and continue their education with dignity and hope.
A typical kit includes:
- Ruled and unruled notebooks for the school year
- Textbooks and reference books where they are needed
- Pens, pencils, erasers and sharpeners
- Geometry boxes and basic school stationery
