This is fund raising event for the Hunger Free Palghar Project.

Palghar is a largely rural region about 100km from Mumbai, India. 50% of people live in poverty in Palghar. To put it in perspective, that means every other house doesn't have enough to eat in a day. 50% is also the percentage of children that are hungry in this region. The majority of individuals who live here are farmers. But conditions aren’t always hospitable enough to grow a successful crop. There are periods of heavy rainfall followed by periods without rain. And because these are rain-fed farms, crops don’t grow during the seasons of drought. This forces the population to migrate into the cities to find industrial jobs. It perpetuates a cycle of hunger and poverty in the region.

You may be wondering...isn’t there something I can do to help?

The answer is yes!
