Key Projects of Rotary Club of Jubilee Hills
Manikonda School - Breakfast
This is a programme we started in 2012-13 at a Zilla Parishad Primary School in Manikonda, which has 250 children from weaker section families.
When a few of us visited the school once around the time of the government-sponsored mid-day meal, we noticed how famished the children seemed as they lined up for their meal. We discovered that most of them had not eaten anything since the previous night! We therefore thought of providing a basic breakfast, cooked on site by the same women's group that cooks the mid-day meal. This programme is continuing, funded by our Rotarians and friends who are interested in helping such disadvantaged children.
The current cost is Rs. 20,000 per month, which, incredibly, works out to about Rs. 3 per day per child!
If you have friends in the US, it would amaze them that just one dollar virtually takes care of breakfast for one child for one month!
