Over 300,000 children in London are at risk of missing their next meal. Reports say 700K, or 34% of all children living in London, live in absolute poverty after housing costs. Families are at serious risk of hunger and malnutrition, made worse by the ongoing cost-of-living crisis. Malnutrition inhibits physical and mental development, the ability to perform or participate at school, and can also lead to mental health issues driven by stress and anxiety no child should suffer.

Akshaya Patra freshly prepares safe and nutritious meals for children suffering food poverty. Our effective kitchen technology keeps nutrition up and costs low. We’ve served over 700,000 meals to children in 3 years. The meals are vegetarian, cooked with surplus food and surplus compassion. The food travels in steel containers to support the planet and we are committed and prepared to reach as many children at risk of hunger in London, with a plate of fresh and tasty hot food.
