About the Programme
AMANGHAR was launched in August 2008 and on a day to day basis is currently delivering 2200 nutritionally balanced meals (breakfast and lunch) to school-going children in Khuda ki Basti. The programme includes a custom-built kitchen with a capacity to prepare 5,000 meals per day. The kitchen adheres to high standards of hygiene and inventory management.
It is staffed by personnel who are trained and experienced in running meal kitchens; additionally, AMANGHAR hires women from within the Khuda ki Basti community to serve food and wash dishes.
Meal preparation is based on carefully conducted studies that take into account calorie counts and the right amount of carbohydrates, proteins, minerals, vitamins and fats essential for optimal health. Every month, AMANGHAR on the basis of the feedback that it collects from children, parents and teachers strives to assess and improve its offerings.
