We mourn the passing of Mr. Ratan Tata, whose philanthropic spirit and leadership helped shape the future of millions of children. In 2013, Mr Ratan Tata visited our kitchen, sharing these impactful words: "It is an extremely impressive undertaking which indicates what can be achieved when you have dedication and sincerity of achievement for the public good." His partnership with The Akshaya Patra Foundation was a testament to his belief in the power of compassion and collective action. His vision will continue to inspire us as we strive to serve more children daily. Our deepest condolences to his loved ones and supporters. Rest in peace, Mr. Tata. You will always remain in our hearts and in the lives you’ve uplifted.

A new chapter unfolds in Bengaluru, India with the opening of Akshaya Patra’s 75th kitchen, and the 5th in the city, located in Chikkajala. This facility now serves over 35,000+ children across 200 schools in Karnataka, marking a significant milestone in our mission to end classroom hunger. This achievement was made possible through the generous support of the Thakkar Family Foundation and the collective efforts of our partners and government collaborators. Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to the Karnataka government and all our supporters for their continued commitment to this cause. Together, we are demonstrating the power of collaboration in providing nutritious meals and driving positive change in the lives of children. #AkshayaPatra #India

"#Homework is a #social #justice #issue." Daniel Adams told me this morning as we discussed the new strategy of Akshaya Patra UK to bring hot nutritious meals to children and improve education outcomes too. It is a social justice issue because so many children: 👉 Don't have a quiet place to work 👉 Don't have parents around that can help them 👉 Don't have wifi at home 👉 Have other chores and responsibilities at home That's why Akshaya Patra UK is providing after school meals with homework and hot nutritious food. We don't call out enough examples of charities that are flexible and agile. The original model was to provide mid day meals in the UK, as The Akshaya Patra Foundation does in India to millions of children every day. This didn't scale in the UK for various reasons, but Daniel Adams is using his experience from Mary's Meals to pivot and ensure outcomes for children are transformed. Such a lovely morning spent at the GMSP Foundation Akshaya Patra UK kitchen this morning. Thank you Erica Smith Radhika Iyer Wayne McArdle Daniel Adams

The journey of a meal begins long before it reaches a child's plate. At Akshaya Patra, it starts in fields where local farmers grow fresh produce sustainably. It continues in our energy-efficient kitchens, where we prepare nutritious meals with minimal waste.

Meet Tanisha & Tanishka: Our Young #VolunteerHeroes! These two incredible young volunteers spent their summer break making a difference! After completing their GCSEs, the twins dedicated their time to helping us ensure our meals were packed, quality-checked, and ready to feed children in need. Tanishka even got hands-on in the kitchen, cutting vegetables and assisting the team with meal preparation. Their dedication and energy are truly inspiring. Thank you, Tanisha and Tanishka, for your hard work and commitment to making a difference in children’s lives! 🙏 Check out how you can volunteer with Akshaya Patra UK - https://lnkd.in/djQNgwMQ #Volunteer #AkshayaPatraUK #FoodChampions

Nutrition can be easy and tasty. 🌱 We had an incredible time teaching children about the importance of #HealthyEating during a recent session at Sportscool Club, in West London. They learned about proteins, carbohydrates, and vitamins in a fun, hands-on way. The kids creatively participated in a "Healthy Plate" activity, building their own balanced meals using food cut-outs. The enthusiasm was contagious, and their food choices were inspiring! Not to mention the insightful questions they asked! #AkshayaPatraUK
